Any bitter apple experiences (dog related)

We used it years ago. Once they get it sprayed in the mouth once all you usually have to do is show the bottle at them and they stop doing wrong. Granted the minute you walk away they may go right back at it, but while you are there with the bottle they stop!

Nothing like the joys of a puppy. Good luck!

By the way, I never sprayed it in her mouth. I sprayed it on the items she liked to chew (usually the baseboards and windowsills).

My vet also told us to water down tobasaco and put a small amount on the item. We did it once and he licked and licked the red peppers off. Apparently he is a fan of hot wings... So we had to tie him to us for a bit and keep redirecting.

I've used Tabasco (full strength) with two of our dogs and they love it as well. They didn't chew, but would lick and lick. 

Both times, I bought the bitter apple spray and it worked like magic. It instantly stopped the mouthing. If you can, borrow a bottle from a friend. Even buying the smallest bottle, I have a ton left over. I never had to reapply and it didn't damage veneers like IKEA furniture. 

I wouldn't spray it in a dog's mouth except under very dire circumstances. It is a great deterrent with just a small taste. Plus, you want to deter the dog from specific items, not chewing in general. 

we used it, and a similar product from a pet supply company, and both worked great! we sprayed on pet beds and bird cage dropping matts, among other things. had a little on my hand and didn't realize, ate a snack and oh yeah, it's disgusting!

We used it when our Schnauzer was a puppy. It worked great. It's been 7 years, but they did have a paste and a spray available. The thicker paste seemed to work better on wood chair legs and we used the spray on things like shoes. She quickly learned to keep her mouth off those items. It was funny, though. A couple months went by and she went over to her favorite chair, glared at it, sneezed and walked away. She still doesn't go by the dining room chairs very often.

This stuff never deterred any of my puppies.
