Cord chewing.....

Post by Fidel »

What is the best way to teach a puppy not to chew on electrical (plugged in or otherwise) cords? He has a rope and chew toys, but still insists.

They sell hard plastic sleves that you can put around the cord, normaly used for computor cords but they will work on other cords or wrap the cord in something he can't chew through, They also sell a spray that dogs don't like the taste but it is an electrical cord so the hard plastic may be the best untill he out grows the puppy chewing stage. You might want to get those cords off the floor also, with an electrical cord his next bite may be his last bite.

Also, simple supervision works wonders as well. He is a baby, and needs constant minding.

We have taken all cords off the floor, and hidden them. I appriciate it. Did you all get the update on Fidel? I am sooo happy and so sorry for being rude. I wasn't in too good of a mood trying to find a vet.

No problem, don't worry about it. My only complaint was you said snobby stuck up dog owners (noticed you fixed it) Snobby stuck up CHOW owners to me is more of a compliment. snobby stuck up dog owners is rude.
