Dal & Mad's Mom Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Does anyone have therory on their appeal. I just stopped current puppy from chewing the dyson cord then she was off to a speaker cord. Last week I found my cell phone charger must have dangled and we now in 3 pieces. I cant figure the attraction says the woman who when maddie was a puppy had all her outdoor extension cord cut to mini length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Scott Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 After my old BC Skye chewed my cable cord several different times, I actually threaded it thru a length of PVC pipe. I've also lost the cord to recharge the laptop battery and finally just resorted to keeping all my cords (or my puppies) in my sight at all times!

bc friend Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 For computer cables/cords, lamps, etc., I've wiped them down with either bitter apple or hot sauce - won't deter a determined chewer but with one that's just starting out with "tasting" the cords, this method generally works for me.

Root Beer Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I never thought about it, but you're right. When we first got Sammie, he chewed the cords off of all of our fans and our steam cleaner. Thankfully none were plugged in. That was before we knew about crates and he was just loose when we weren't home. Cords and carpets were his favorite thing to destroy. Thankfully, it's something all of my dogs have outgrown, but there is a certain fascination with cords for puppies and youngsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a brand new Dustbuster thingie, and within days, darn cat had chewed through the cord on the recharger. Grrr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shetlander Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 It's been hit or miss with my puppies. Two out of five (both Shelties) chewed cords, one nearly starting my house on fire but fortunately I was right in the room with him and was able to step in before anything did more than smolder and pop. Somehow the puppy didn't get zapped either. After that I was careful to unplug lamps as well as put up barriers to keep puppies at bay. Fortunately, Quinn never showed any interest in this particular brand of chewing because he was so fast and agile and determined that if he had wanted to, he certainly could have sawed through any number of cords despite my constantly watching him.

Dixie_Girl Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I got Cheyenne when she was just 10days old. Because of how little she was, and I had 3 rambunctious grandkids living in the house, she spent most of her time in our bedroom. Our room didn't have heat to it so we used an electric blanket. When Cheyenne was about 6 wks old, we here her yelp under the bed, I called her and she came out. Couldn't find nothing wrong with her, so we just went on. Till we discovered our blanket no longer was heated! She never chewed another thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
