My 3 month old pyrenees keeps chewing on things around the house that I would rather her not chew on - edges of rugs, bath mats, couch pillow corners, etc..

I've sprayed a biter spray, but doesn't seem to deter her one bit.. any other suggestions?? I've tried so hard to get her to refocus on something else, but doesn't seem to work.

My 2 puppies are still chewers too. I have got all kinds of chew stuff for them but they still like pillows,the sheets,blankets,shoes laces,any rope,and they chewed up 2 rungs on a chair in the kitchen. They like Nyabones and destroy all but the white ones. Luckily they haven't chewed on the leather sofa. You need to find something they can't resist and have a lot of them, Sorry not much help, David

Don't leave your dog unsupervised or put away the problem items.

If you can't watch your dog she should be in her crate or in a gated area of a kitchen or such. The other alternative is to tether her to your belt via a leash so that she can't wander out of your sight and get into stuff.

A dog who is constantly chewing may be suffering from a number of medical problems, so it is important to diagnose this before considering all the other possible contributing factors and solutions. Yeast infections, allergies, and other factors can lead to this behavior.

nice!, a star wars lover, ha ha!

i would use a stern tone only when taking the pup away from those items. - easy way

a tap on the nose worked for me also. - if easy way doesnt work

note:this is MY opinion. if you dont agree, please dont bring it in this thread, we have closed threads from needless debates. thanks.

I agree, a stern tone in your voice when taking the item away and saying "NO" worked for me. And making sure irresistable items are out of reach of the pup is always a good thing, and hopefully he won't find something else that he loves to chew on...
