Molly teething?

Hi we was told that molly was teething she is between 6 and 7 months old but she is chewing a sofa with wooden arms ..we have got her different toys to chew on to distract her .we have tried lemon .
And lemon and vinegar she seems to like the taste ..
Has anyone got any ideas thanks ?

 

Hi Gizmo....There's a product called something like bitter cherry..I think...I got it from the pet shop...it worked a treat hope it does for you..Can be used on all surfaces

 

Many thanks for your information hope it works or we could be sitting on the floor

 

I'd just give her a piece of wood to chew, nice piece of softwood, not hardwood as some can be toxic.
Or one of those hard rubber toys preferably with knobbly bits on it.
When you see her grinding her teeth on the furniture just try to get her to chew that instead.

 

Thanks for your reply ..

With molly nibbling it's just not wood at home
It's also body parts . Bedding. When we go to the local park it's wooden tables and benches.
We bought toys for her to chew on then rocco wanted them so we bought exactly the same for rocco
But rooco still wants the toy molly has all though it's the same ..
We have kongs as well but get the same problem as we do with toys

 

Yeah unfortunately you cant tell them who's toys belong to who.
It shouldn't be long before she gets her proper teeth and hopefully stops chewing to some extent.

 

Puppy that age unless "always " supervised needs to be in a crate. When let out to roam the human needs to reinforce good behavior and re-direct unwanted behavior to the preferred behavior. The crate is her safe area, where she finds her home and security, not to be used for punishment. Taken out of the crate immediately taken outside for poop and pee and praised. Give her the chew toys and verbally praise her for chewing on them.

I raised and trained and took to obedience trials two GSD's they spent their day in a huge crate when I was working until the age of 12 months. then was given short in house roaming time 30 mins. to ensure good behavior.

 

As we didn't get info about her vaccinations our vet surgery started her on vaccination when she had a puppy check we was advised that she has all her adult teeth apart from 1 why still teething..
Molly is going back to vet tomorrow for second vaccination and to see if she is immenit on her first season if not she will be snipped in 2 weeks or so ..
We have got chew toys for molly
As for a create we did try that but she howls and barks all the time ...
It does not look like she has been toilet trained or even create trained so we are in process to find a trainer for her and rocco

 

Where did you get her from @Gizmo ?
Not being house trained or having a known vaccination history sounds a bit concerning ?
Looking on the web they seem very expensive ranging from £500 to £2000 plus.

 

We got molly from pets4homes and she came with kc reg and microchip details
But when trying to change her microchip over to us we could not do it so we phoned up the company they advised that the microchip was not first registered but the second owner looking at the history she was bought from London and went to Hove with second owner ..the daughter had a reaction against molly although they had different dogs so molly was put up for sale in Hove
We didn't have any issue with kc reg just microchip but all details are now in our name

 

It must have been a very traumatic few weeks for little Molly to have 3 new owners.

Clearly Rocco is trying to show his dominance by taking her toys, so you will also need join in the training sessions to learn how to control them.
Think you can learn a lot from watching the Dogs Behaving Badly series C5 tonight, 8pm which really shows how the training is nearly always about correcting the owners control methods or lack of them.

 

An excellent programme. Graeme Hall is so correct ... train the owners!

 

thanks for the advice , molly had second vaccine today and pre op check to see if she is starting her first season or not operation is on 27 th march providing not on season , we have got some advice after op from the vet i think its all going to be manic and a great experience for all

i will be watching tonight on tv but not sure if it will help in training my wife

 

hi we got some bitter cherry arrived today we tried it on molly she loves the taste

 

Ohhhhh Nooooo sorry it hasn't worked..Reading her history I'm guessing it's a behavioral thing rather than her teeth?
