Puppies, just like babies, have to go through teething. While it is a natural process, it can leave you with chewed furniture, clothes and pretty much anything else within your pup’s reach. If you have tried getting her a chew toy, rolled up a sock for her and she still goes to the furniture, make a simple, safe and effective bitter spray to deter her from chewing on your things.
Step 1
Pour 1 cup apple cider or white vinegar into a medium-size spray bottle.
Step 2
Add 1 cup lemon juice and 1 cup water to the bottle. Shake it to mix the ingredients.
Step 3
Test the spray on the underside of your furniture or inside of shoes. Make sure it does not cause splotching or staining before you spray the entire object.
Tips
Never spray it directly in your puppy’s mouth. He most likely will not know why you are disciplining him and will think you are being mean.
