In a past issue of House Beautiful, the Ask The Dog Shrink Q&A column by Kathy Santo, caught my eye for a couple of reasons but let me tell you about this one.  A reader writes in that they have recently moved and the 9 month old dog has started chewing the furniture, what to do? Of course dog shrink Kathy Santo advises that a move can be emotional for dogs often disrupting their daily schedule of walks and play, and while you’re busy tending to setting up the new house boredom sets in for the dog,  I smell trouble!  She suggests in addition to keeping the dog supervised and exercised,  a chew deterrent that she created called Don’t Chew Dare, (cute name!) will save the furniture.  Don’t Chew Dare is an organic spray containing bitter herbs (white pepper, spearmint leaf) - a few spritzes help you save the furniture and keep your pooch out of the doghouse!
