chewing on dog house

Any one know of something that can be sprayed on a dog house to keep this maniac from eating the hole thing LOL.He already aite one igloo & starting on another.He gets plenty of work so I know thats not causing it.He has a spring on his chain spot to keep him occupied & he gets walked every day??????.Ive noticed he does it when he see's a cat,racoon or other dogs not part of the yard.None of my other dogs do it any suggestions?

 

Bitter apple is what i use, but ya gotta do it like once a week lol.

 

Thanks dude,damn I hope this dont sound retarded where do I get bitter apple?

 

places like pertco or petsmart will have the Bitter Apple spray, and it usually is all the deterent they need. some harder headed dogs will need a bit more- like habenero or scott bonnet pepper juice rubbed on the house

 

Thanks Rally.I will get some today!

 

That also helped me out. My dog chews on his plastic kennel pan and I just had to buy new one today. He also chews and shakes the dog house on his chain spot. I am going to look for some spray next time i'm out.

 

lol my dog did it when he was younger bt he doesnt anymore give him a bone or somthing to chew on its just anxioty (idk if i spelled that right) cuz he cant get at whatever he sees

 

One thing that is working well for me is getting them a new house and leaving them the old one to play with. I have a little gyp that tore up houses 2 to 3 times her size. Also if space permits isolate the dog from the rest to cut down the agitation.

 

I've read somewhere that the perfect place for such dogs is a hole like a well where the dog is surrounded by nothing but bricks, cement or what not. You need a ladder to go back and up everytime to attend to the dog though.

 

does it have an odor or just a taste?
