Today, I bought some bitter-apple spray to stop my puppy chewing on everything. Later, I found out how effective it was, when I tried to eat a sandwich, and gagged at the horrifying taste on my hands. My dog seems unaffected, and continues to chew the table legs. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I woke up late and grabbed what I thought was a granola bar on my way out. It wasn’t until I was halfway through eating it that I realized it was a dog treat. I had the godawful taste in my mouth all throughout the day, despite several cans of Pepsi and Mountain Dew. FML
Today, I finally realized why my 9-week-old puppy was going to the bathroom so much. I went to pick up the food bag and realized she had chewed a hole in the bottom, and eaten half of the bag in the last 4 days. Goodbye 30 pounds of dog food, and 100$ for a vet visit. FML
Today, on the kitchen counter, there was a plate that had snacks on it. I decided to take a bite. I spat it out. Later on, my mother told me it was dog food. FML
Today, my dog head-butted me in the mouth so hard that my lip split open. Twenty minutes later, I unthinkingly sprayed perfume directly into the wound. FML
Today, I discovered that the delicious beef jerky strips I’ve been eating all week are actually the dog’s teeth cleaning chews. FML
Today, I realized that my dog is an evil genius. As I sat down to have a snack, he barked as if he saw someone outside. I went to check it out, but nobody was there. When I returned, I found my dog on the table finishing off my bacon sandwich. FML
Today, I took my puppy outside to play. At one point, she stopped chewing on her toy and ran over to give me a big kiss all over my face and mouth. A few minutes later I realized that her chew toy was actually the dried up carcass of a toad. FML
Today, my dog became scared of his own food bowl. He now barks for ages every time he sees it. FML
Today, my dog thought it would be a good idea to use my phone as a chew toy. FML
Today, I was eating chocolate chip cookies around the house and saw a chocolate chip on the floor. Not wanting my dog to eat it, given that chocolate is poisonous for dogs, I swiped it up with my finger and put it to my mouth. It was then that I realized it was a stub of my dog's poop. FML

All puppies go through a chewing phase. It's really simple. Buy a puppy playpen, they come in all sorts of sizes, a cheap area rug that covers the floor space under the playpen, so if he gets a taste for carpet, it won't be your good flooring, and lots of chewy toys. Something mine loved is when I took one the kind you put treats in, filled it with peanut butter, and froze it

That's Dog-gone sad...

Agreed. OP should get their puppy some toys or rawhides and have it chew on those instead. That's what worked for all 3 of my dogs.

That sounds like the same reaction you would get with that stuff they make for people who bite their nails. I would say since they eat poop--bitter tasting stuff wouldn't affect them any! As a side note, I have a huge puppy. An American Staffordshire Terrier (it's in bt a pit bull and a boxer). Anyways, in order to keep her from chewing on my furniture--I buy her packages of rawhide bones that keeps her busy for hours and gets her baby need for chewing out of the way! Check in to them...if you have a Target they are about $7.99!!

Use some vaporub for your dog and you'll see how effective it is!

That stuff doesn't work! I wasted money on it, also. They eventually stop chewing. It tastes terrible & burns!

1.Wash your hands after using such a product and 2.Maybe if that doesn't work find something else?
