I have had the same problem. One of our dogs tried to eat the dust cover off the bottom of the couch. I finally removed it from the couch. I wonder what he is eating now? Usually only the puppies do this.
spray bottle add lemon juice spray the area that is getting chewed. This is a proven method.If you catch the dog chewing spray below the nose.This is like the bitter apple method but works!
Try some more chew toys - I have heard of products to help solve problems but I think in time with the right training it will go good. Oh dont leave it in room while your not there. Good luck
I would pick her up off the couch and give her a toy, or throw it or distract her but first say no!!! no!! no!!! thats not a toy get a toy !!! or point her to her food bowl !!! thats what we do for my dog.
If he just wants to chew, give him butcher bones or deer antlers to satisfy him. But if he is simply a habitual chewer, it will take more drastic measures. Crate him every time you have to leave him alone. When you are home and you catch him in the act, give him a good slapping. Or banish him to a dark closet. Or if he is a small dog, pick him up by the scruff of the neck and give him a good shaking. It's your furniture and if he is going to live at your house, he should learn to respect it.
Kennel her when you are not in the house with her and watch her when she is out and you are home. When she starts to go for the couch, distract her and if you catch her at it, discipline her. The most important thing is to be consistent.
