Any tips on what to give Millie to help her not eat the kitchen table and skirting boards?
she is 9 weeks old and has rope toys and a chew-teddy.

Rocso loves his stag bar, and also kong toys that you can fill with treats or cover in paste, cream cheese or peanut butter.

Stag bars or a stuffed kong. Also some Vicks or Bitter Apple on whatever she is chewing that she shouldn't be

Try putting a few drops of T Tree oil on the woodwork to help stop the chewing.

The stag bars a very tough almost like bone and not sure if I would recommend for a young puppy. Try the stuffed kong filled with natural yogurt. A small amount of that should be fine.

Stagbars are great (and are fine for pups), as are stuffed Kongs (freeze them for more of a challenge) as are natural chews like bully sticks/pizzle sticks.

I wouldn't recommend using tea tree oil as it can be toxic for dogs, especially if ingested.

Charlie had a thing about skirting boards, banistairs, dining room chairs and tables. He loved wood! I started putting drops of vinegar on the furniture to stop him and it worked, but stank the house out. So I started putting a bit of perfume or deoderant on the wood work and he didn't go near it. I kept that up for a couple of weeks and now don't have to worry about it all. That combined with the advice above, should really help. As will exercise when your puppy is old enough Smile

Ruby loves her stag bar too. she enjoys trying to scrape the marrow out of the middle. She also has numerous different toys, from ropes and stuffed teddies to kongs and squeaky toys, plus a few different chews around all the time too. shes not chewed anything so far...touch wood! with my old dog who used to chew anything from sofas to doors, we used to mix a small amount of pepper with a few drops of vinegar in some water and dab it on whatever she was intent on chewing and it worked, however she just moved along the next thing in her reach Rolling Eyes she grew out of it in about 2 years!

They're fine for pups because they're not bone, they're compressed hair. Yes, they're hard, but no harder than a nylabone or a kong.

Many thanks for your helpful suggestions, I have ordered her a Stag Bar from eBay for small/medium dogs. I will try some smelly spray on the funiture too, it will help take away the wee odour lol. I was most concerned about a disused gas pip that she was chewing on but I think it is disconnected! Surprised

Antlers? Callie loves hers. I have seen deer, elk and moose.

I saw tea tree oil recommended...our trainer swears by Vicks Vapo Rub (though Callie actually likes it and will lick it off my fingers...weird dog)...we did much better with bitter apple spray.

Laughing sorry dave know I shouldn't laugh.

Well I thought we'd done really well 10 weeks old been here for 3 and nothing chewed. Then I noticed the bar at the bottom of the dining room chairs. OMG if hubby see i'm in so much trouble lol. Best try the vicks. I was told years ago by the MIL that dogs don't like paprika. Unfortunately we found out that they do are least Zac did. We covered the back of our sofa cushions with paprika as he had eaten the zips. I came home from work to find every sofa cushion on the floor and the insides were chewed up and spat out everywhere. There he was sitting right in the middle with the happiest face i've ever seen. Needless to say mine wasn't the same lol.
