A sure-fire cure to get your little pup to stop chewing the furniture: dab the corners with a bit of dish soap.

I tried all kinds of things. I used that Bitter Apple spray, but my dog thought that meant she was SUPPOSED to eat it. The only thing that kept her from chewing my furniture was to put a bit of dish soap on all the ends of things.

And after a day or two it's not sticky anymore, and it won't discolor your wood and just wipes right off if you need to.

It worked fast. She hasn't chewed on my furniture (or baseboards!) since.

Good luck.

I am going to try that. She loves the bitter apple, bitter lime, loves hot sauce. I will try the dish soap.

I even tasted the bitter apple and bitter lime, I hated it. It was like a fine culinary thing for her.

Dish soap has worked like a charm! Thanks for the advice.

Yay! I'm glad it worked. My puppy ate 5 pieces of my furniture before I thought of the dish soap. :-(

Now I have to get her spayed! It is time. My boyfriend and I are wringing our hands over this. I am really worried. It is just because she is only six pounds, that I worry. I like her vet, but I want to quetion the hell out of her...Questions that come to mind, "How many toy dogs have you spayed, what are the drugs you will be using?" etc, etc. Thank God I have never had children, I would be a wreck....I know she is only a dog, I am amazed how much I care about her.

K, you don't need to rationalize. People who say, "It's only a dog" do not & might not ever understand.

Also, ask away that is what the vet is for! If it were a pediatrician you would ask those questions. If it were someone coming to clean your carpets, you would ask questions. Go for it!

We are still waiting on pictures....
