Hey Everyone!,
Looking for a little assistance, if anyone has any ideas. Willow has picked up a new and disturbing habit of chewing on wires. She's so far managed to chew through two - one was DH's expensive gaming computer mouse! :yikes
So far, she hasn't managed to get at any actual live electrical wires, but we figure it's only a matter of time. The room where we leave her when we aren't home doesn't have any exposed wires, but the two she managed to chew through were both while we were home - she's very quick - by the time we get to her she's chewed through it!
We're trying to figure out how to stop this. She's been told "no" and "off" when she goes for them in a very disapproving voice, and we give her alternate things to chew on. She has a variety of chew toys, but she seems more interested in the wires than those. We're thinking of trying the bitter apple spray, but I'm not sure it'll work, and I'm not sure we can coat every wire in the house with that stuff.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions? We're very concerned that our little one is going to fry herself one of these days on a wire (plus, we can't afford to keep replacing every piece of electronics she ruins!)
Thanks,
Krista
