So I pretty much baby (puppy) proof my house like there is a toddler coming over.<br />My Skye who is 10 months old can't come near a cord or anything that might have the chance of hurting her. I know of too many puppies that have been fried! We are happy that she hasn't been into shoes!!!Debby@Just Breathehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685398064340027809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012477428090081214.post-79455694849946983562009-11-12T10:07:50.968-06:002009-11-12T10:07:50.968-06:00I so hear you on this.

We have a lab puppy and he was chewing up everything left and right.<br /><br />Here are some things that we did to fix it.<br /><br />We set mouse traps near all of the cords in the house (tv mess, under computer desk, on the stairs) they won't injur him, just startle him enough. We still have the mouse traps, but they are not set all he has to do is see them now.<br /><br />We got our dog a soft mesh muzzle. he can drink with it on, its not tight. but when he goes for one of the kids toys, or the trash or counter.. he gets the muzzle. <br /><br />also.. apple bitter spray. we spray that on the couch bottoms, and socks (our dog loves socks) and shoes. no more chewing of that.<br /><br />good luck!Designs by Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08315451880546013556noreply@blogger.com
