Does anybody use the bitter apple spray or any of the similar products keep there dogs from chewing on things or going near certain places in their houses?
Just looking for opinions on the best one to try.

All Ziva does is lick it. It was a waste of $ for me.

Useless for me too. I tried Grannick's Bitter Apple to keep her from chewing...on ME! She made a funny face 1st time she got a taste, but took her 2 seconds to make up her mind that she would grin and bear it. I can't imagine how it would work to keep them out of places because the smell had absolutely no affect.

Mine don't like vinegar. So, I use vinegar as a deterrent.

All our dogs would go to town licking it off of things -.-

Waste of money for us

The bitter apple spray didn't work for chewing on things for us, but we use it in the car if they start barking or whining, we spray it in their mouth. Now all they have to see is the bottle and they shut up

I've heard of people putting tobasco sauce or even a pepper and it stopped the dog..

Didn't work for us. We had to put it on maggie's wrap when she broke her leg. We also put it on her E-collars because she could chew them off. It pretty much gotten to the point where Darren could spray it in her mouth and she would like the taste! Jennet, my parents did that with their dogs for chewing the couches. That worked!

I think the spray is to diluted to be effective. I had some bitter lime that came in a tube like ointment. Biko, hated it so I guess it worked as he stopped chewing at that time.

useless stuff, unless you're using it on your children. haha!

it only works for us while it's wet once it dries he could care less. what i need is a liquid form of the taste the last dewormer prescribed to dakota. i would hide the pill in a chicken meat ball and darned if he wouldn't spit the pill right back out after eating the treat. lol

I've used it with mixed results. It stopped them from chewing when I sprayed it on there, but once it dries he will continue to chew.

I've been pretty lucky that I have not really had much destroyed with them. Nikko is pretty good about only chewing his toys, or his little brother LOL.
