I don't have any answers - just a daughter that moved back home with one who chews. She turned one year old last month - so I'm still hopeful she's going to quit. She chews up clothes, blankets, papers, phone chargers - even into the side of a recliner. She also has a lot of toys, and is also an attention hog. So far I've been lucky and the clothes and phone chargers were daughter's. Books, papers and stuff has been mine. I hope she doesn't get hold of anything loved or costly. I don't know how to break her of this chewing either.
Yeah, mine did a little chewing when she was very young - but nothing like this!

I'm having serious issues with this too. Mercedes has alreay chewed
through the wires of my expensive home theatre, and now is working on
my suade furniture.. I'm more concerned about her health than my
material belongings, but it's still very frusterating.
I asked my vet about Bitter apple, and he told me that if she ends up
liking the taste of it, it can make her seriously ill, and she'll
never stop knawing. He told me to try double sided tape.. Which is
seeming to make a difference, but now she tries to chew the tape off.
I read in a training book that they chew b/c they're bored, but I
don't want to kenel her everytime I leave the room. It's a hassle for
me, and it makes me feel guilty as well.
She has her bones to chew, but somehow she likes the taste of the
speakerwire and couch much more.
Do any of you with older dogs have chewing problems? I'm really hoping
she outgrows this, because I don't know what else to try...
