Hi, Karen For the chair nibbling I would suggest Citronella oil if you can get your hands on it. I've had to spray citronella on all my furniture legs (and walls...) regularly or Doppo will just chomp away. he hates the smell and will not chew anything citronelly. Good luck with the getting hazel in. I'm having trouble with "come" myself! Simone

Please suggest what to put on it to stop my delinquent. Its on the back leg so staining isn't a problem. Next, Hazel, my SAS one year old, is going wild at night playing in the now cool night air and I have trouble getting her inside. I do not play with her when its time to come in and turn my back as suggested by someone on the L. I have the German Sheppard from you know where next door barking all the time I am outside. This has escalated to the neighbors no longer speaking to me because I mentioned their barking dog. I am afraid Hazel is wanting to play with this dog and could care less about me. I give up and go in the house and when I return, there are several craters of dirt she has dug. I finally have to go get the garden hose, turn it on and squirt water up in the air to get her attention. Then she makes a line for the door. Once in the garage, I have to wash off her feet. While washing her, I can tell she is winded. She comes in the house and crashes for at least an hour. This behavior can't be good for her heart. Please advise me on what I need to do.
