That wasn't supposed to happen
Plot twist: OP's just blaming the dog for what they did themselves.
Beat me to it
they should have gotten chew deterrent
Don't don't chew on luke. Got it.
This is reddit. The Office is always expected.
fuck... I was halfway done typing then I read top comment
To be fair the bottle does say NO chew deterrent . As in “Is this a chew deterrent? No.”
Works on contingency?
No! Money down!
Oops. It shouldn’t have this Out! logo here either.
It's Dankmus time.
No brand chew deterrent
Friend are you familiar with the concept of word play?
Friend have you ever watched Bob Mortimer tell the tale of how he burned down his house when he was a child on Would I Lie to You?
Yes. Just now.
Doggo knows. Most bad stuff tastes great.
My wife and I decided to taste some chew deterrent once. We each spritzed a bit on our finger and took the tiniest taste, and it was utterly horrid, ant the taste lingered.
The worst part was that it wouldn't wash off... for days we'd get a surprise burst of flavor on occasion.
Didn't bother the dog at all.
Tried some awful bitter spray called "bitter yuck" several years ago. My dog literally licked it off the wires it was supposed to keep her away from. At least it kept her from chewing on them...?
I've had several dogs growing up and recently had a cat, none of them were phased by these chew/lick deterrent crap.
vinegar seemed to do the trick with my dog. he always licked it at first, but then he would sneeze and back off.
Just wanted to share that I have used mineral oil and ground chilli peppers to keep horses from messing with water lines once. Didn't work for everyone, but "spicy" is usually a danger-taste for animals, since it could be a poison.
Dogs are tougher, and not herbivores obviously, so they are often too curious for the chilli peppers in my experience.
I used citrus, hot sauce and bitter apple with my dog. First I tried them to keep him from chewing my dining room chairs. 11 years later there are chew marks from him. He loved all the new flavors of wood! Then I soaked pieces of bread in bitter apple and put them out as a last dutch effort to try to get the hound to quit counter surfing. He just made a "this is gross" face and ate them all. The humans just learned to guard our food and put it where he definitely can't get to it after that.
I guess you've never had a dog?
He has a high food drive instinct and a high tolerance for bad taste. Also I was his forth home at 11months so he developed social anxiety that led to bad behaviors. Hes well trained as long as he knows the reward will be food.
We tried (among other things) sprinkling chili powder on my dog's poop to stop him from eating it. He would still eat it, but then he'd throw up and eat that.
My cat's litterbox is apparently the equivalent of a five star michelin restaurant to my dogs.
I tried marmite to stop my dog bc it was reccomend to me. Unfortunately for my chairs my pup apparently loves marmite so all my chairs have dog made rounded corners.
We got this for my chinchilla with the same result. We called it "hot sauce"
When I got my dog, the guy I was dating unknowingly sprayed it on blankets to deter pup from chewing on the fuzzy ones. The ones I’d cuddle up with. I was covered in that horrid stuff. Could taste it and smell it. Like your dog, it didn’t deter him at all.
I once came home to a completely chewed pepper spray. Dog seemed to have loved it, so i decided to test a drop to make sure it actually worked.
It worked.
I could see my dog doing this. She loves spicy. It's bizarre.
I've never understood this. My dog didn't like pizza rolls but he told me he had an accident by trying to shove a piece of poop in my mouth.
I had a cat once who liked to chew on things like curtain cords and electrical cords. I tried some chew deterrent, and it didn't bother that cat at all, and the other cat loved the taste. So then both cats were chewing things.
My cat still chews on stuff with it, the only thing that it changes is that now she looks grossed out while chewing it
A 'No Chew Deterrent' would technically be the same thing as a 'Chew Enticer'
Actually, it would neither deter or entice. Non-deter is not defaultly pro-entice, it's just neutral
He's sending you a message about who's in charge.
Look at me. I am the captain now.
It’s like starting a fight with the toughest dude on your first day in prison
Omg we would spray that on the hardie plank side of the wall where our dog liked to chew and I swear this made him chew it up even mores it was like seasoning added to the wall.
You forgot to spray the bottle with the bottle...?
Go for a refund. They have no basis for denial. You have all the proof ever needed.... ohmygosh thiis picture made me laugh big time!
lol yeah OP should absolutely post this on the manufacturers twitter/facebook
Maybe just a DM. The dog is not chewing because things taste good, it's chewing because it can or from an anxious trigger (owner leaving for the workday, ect)
That stuff is intended to keep the dog from chewing regardless of the reasons behind such behavior
I guess your dog can't read.
Actually he can read pretty well. The bottle clearly says "no chew deterrent". If the spray was designed to prevent the dog from chewing things, it should have simply said "chew deterrent". Dog picked up on that double negative straight away.
That liar sauce
We got a book on how to train your dog from when I was a kid. The puppy chewed it up. It had a durable plastic cover, so it was damaged but still usable. We were worried the library would refuse it.
As I remember, they took it, but laughed at the irony
"I can't believe you've done this"
That's dog for, "checkmate"
Well, it is accurate. That is no chew deterrent. Not a chew deterrent at all really. Next time look for the chew deterrent, not the no chew deterrent.
This is great, just a pro tip, trained a few puppies in my time, a great way to work with a problem chewer is leash training. I will take the puppy and have them on a leash with me when I am home, long enough so they get to roam and play etc but they basically can’t leave the same room as me. It’s cheaper than baby gates and helps with bonding. Then just keep their favorite treats (low calorie or course) and reward them for good behavior when you see it, they will associate you, the leash, and not doing things they are not supposed to with good things like toys, treats, and pets. It also allows you to step in and correct quickly instead of finding something the next day which then correcting them on is just abuse because they have forgotten about it. Also protects the puppy from getting into anything they shouldn’t. Finally kennel training or bed training for when you are away is best, but they should not be forced to stay there longer than 2hrs per 8 weeks of age with a max of 6hrs if you can manage and a kennel where they can stand up and turn around easily in for their size. Also never use the kennel as a punishment, it should be their safe space, I always used the rule if I was getting on to my dogs and they willingly went into their kennel or were in there they were safe, nothing bad ever happened to them there, now they will go to their beds (we don’t have to use kennels anymore they are 5 and don’t do anything when we are gone but sleep, we use cameras instead and can correct them with voice when need be) when they are uncomfortable or scared. This took 3 years of intense training for my current dog (a rescue from an abused home) but others pick it up faster.
Just some tips there are many other methods that work as well, hope it helps someone.
Also that no chew stuff is garbage, never had a dog deterred by it, I found that anything with a potent long lasting smell that isn’t like food, so eucalyptus (which I can’t use due to an allergy), and other strong essential oils diluted down will sometimes work but I still don’t like risking it and just use the methods I described.
We did the "umbilical training" and kennel training too, almost exactly how you described it. We also picked up everything (most of the time) even remotely interesting that wasn't ok to chew.
Ours is two years old now, and our total losses were: four (really old, super cheap) flip flops, one unplugged laptop charger cable, and one box of tissues. No furniture, bedding, electronics, etc. All of our "losses" were due to my negligence (her toy ended up too close to something I left on the floor). We never scolded her. Just a calm, stern "uh-uh" or "oops" if she was about to do something unwanted, and/or pick up and replace a chew/toy instead if she'd already started chewing something.
We also learned very early on that stimulation keeps dogs out of trouble. Any and every training method will tell you to exercise and train your dog. What they may not tell you is that a lot of bad behaviors stem from boredom, restlessness, and anxiety, so those outlets are imperative. Seriously. Some dogs take more time/effort to wear them out, but if they're physically and mentally tired, they'll be less likely to cause problems.
That being said, teaching "take it", "drop it", "leave it", and "place" is soooo crucial. I don't know if any of them are taught in basic obedience (we used a trainer, not a class), but in my opinion, "drop it" and "place" are way more helpful than "sit" (although starting with "sit", etc. is a great first step!) Especially if you have no idea what's in their mouth or you drop something dangerous like a wine glass.
Edit: We've never even tried one of those deterrents, because we'd rather have our dog trained well than trick her into "if it doesn't smell like "x", it's fair game".
Glad to hear someone else used these methods, I have always had success with it. Thanks.
Likewise. My family said I was "insane"... But I only lost a few things I didn't really care about, and one that was fixable. Everyone who said I was nuts complained about shoes, carpet, furniture, you name it. Here's your sign.
Yep, going through that right now with a family member who has a 9 month old pit puppy, she is anxious, energetic and has no rules so when I offer suggestions that’s the response I get. Definitely a here’s your sign situation.
"So you're telling me a puppy with no rules, no training, and no exercise is tearing up you stuff? I'm shocked. Tell me more about how you ignore your dog and pray it will learn manners."
That pretty much is it, and what’s worse is that is the trend with almost all “bad dog” situations, and while it’s funny let’s not forget that many of these dogs end up in the shelter system and due to being “untrainable” they are euthanized. Many shelters are changing and using training and a foster system to change that but there are still ones out there. There are no bad dogs only bad people, only very rare situations does a dog just have inherently bad traits but let’s be honest 20000 years of controlled breeding and genetic modification by humans has ensured that we have mailable, domestic animals that are pretty close to harmless if trained.
Whew! Had to check and make sure the company I work for isn't the parent company.
what would happen if it was the company you worked for?
Well since we haven't reached a distinction between "no chew spray" and "anti-chew spray", that 100% satisfaction guarantee printed on the bottle would have to be subtly changed to imply the dog, and not the purchaser, would be satisfied with the product.
Bottle says 100% satisfaction guaranteed. Was the dog fully satisfied with the chewing experience?
They are laughing at you.
Imagine the disrespect.
I’d SO be asking for a refund.
And I’m the original poster. My friends bulldog did that.
Holy crap, you're not kidding! Upvote this comment!
If this was left out for the dog to chew than you need to train yourself better and stop worrying about the puppy. Irresponsible.
Also very irresponsible to repost someone else's content
Well if this isn't a perfect representation of 2020 I don't know what is
Please tell me where I can upvote the one-star Amazon review.
I read that label the same way one reads
“No one named Larry lives here”
So yeah, it’s No chew deterrent.
I'm curious, what breed of pup is guilty of this crime?
Seems about right.
Didn't work for my dogs, either. Nor did their GO HERE! pee pee attractant. Put it on the grass potty patch and they haven't used it since.
Maybe you just need to switch the use of both products...? /s
The dog did not know how to read.
All staffy owners know that there is in fact, no such thing as a chew deterrent

For anyone who has this problem... Vicks vaporub. You're welcome.
Just a pro tip to anyone that is struggling with chewy dogs. Instead of buying stuff like this spray, use a stick of bar soap. Rub the stick of bar soap on any corner/surface that they seem to like more than the others. It’s almost instant how fast they go from one last chew to I’m not doing that again. This has worked for me with 3 separate dogs. Not saying it’s the catch all but try it before going down the deterrent route.
should have gotten the chew deterrent instead
Came to say the same thing lol. Looks like the bottle worked to me
n I'd fkin do it again

MONCH
Erm .... yep.
I had a dog do the same. She practically gave us the finger by doing so.
Critical failure
Maybe it was supposed to be a decoy?
Yo is that my dog you have with you?
you have become the very thing you swore to destroy
You see it as a warning, the dog saw it as a challenge.
Hah. I have a dog training book that my dog chewed up when he was a puppy. I will cherish it forever.
Out of frustration!?
The irony 😂
Honestly my experience with bitter spray to stop dogs from chewing on shit. It doesn’t seem to work.
I had a dog that would always try and chew on the corner of our couch. Used some bitter spray on the part, but that didn’t stop him. He just kept on chewing. I knew it tasted like shit due to the way he was acting, but he didn’t care.
Dogs are fucking dumb. Lol
Not all dogs are dumb. If it doesn't immediately make them sick, they're probably going to fight through the "unpleasant" part to get what they want (aka chewing your couch, in this case).
Sometimes exercises (mental and physical) are the best answer. Was your dog bored? Pent-up?*
A neighbor of ours had a husky that was kept in a small yard (for a large, active dog) and largely ignored, forget being trained in any way. They set up three electric fences inside of their 6' wooden fence and it still got out. We'd leave notes saying Fido got out again and was roaming the neighborhood. They'd come home, and Fido was pacing along the inside of the wooden fence, outside of the electric ones. Why? Because Fido was so fucking bored in the yard all day, alone, that he'd jump all four just to get out, but then not want to get shocked on the way back in.
*Edit: I'm in no way saying you're a "bad owner"! I just mean that a lot of chewing/ destructive behaviors stem from understimulation, if not anxiety. Not only are those "chew deterrents" garbage, but if your pup is chewing anyway, with a sour face, it's probably because he'd prefer to keep chewing through the flavor than not.
Yeah, this happened when he was a puppy going through teething phase. He had lots of toys, which he did play/chew on a ton.
He ended up getting an edge on the couch one day when he was playing with his toy and it was game over from there. He loved ripping the couch stuffing out and displaying it all over the living room. lol
My dog likes that and apple bitter. Only thing my dog wont eat so far is grapes.
Maybe if he bought “Chew Detergent” rather than some deterrent for No Chewing
Reminds me of when we got our first dachshund and the wife bought a 'dachshunds for dummies' book. We left the pup in the living room at one point while we cleaning up a bit and came back to 1/4 of the book chewed to pieces while actual chew treats were left alone.
Karen: "Is there a manager around I can speak to"?
No. This is not how you play the game.
The dog died after so much of the liquid seeped into its mouth... No more chewing. Works like a (n unlucky) charm.
Maybe you should take your dog to the vet.
This is an old picture and not yours.
Please report that to A.S.P.C.A your animal could have died or may develop serious health issues. A lawsuit may be at hand.

Just walk your fucking dog. If your dog destroys shit is because they have too much energy and are bored. You don't need sprays. You don't need discipline. Just walk them for 30 mins straight at least. Guarantee they don't have that behavior anymore
This wouldn't happen if you train/exercise instead of lazily spray some questionable liquids on your stuff.
I mean, technically its still correct
You should've sprayed the bottle!
Gotta build up that tolerance.
boss move
It is rare to have the a single picture capture irony so well.
Lol all jokes aside, does this stuff work? My dog is driving me crazy with all the chewing
Stopped him from chewing other things for a brief period
My dogs did the same thing. Bitter Cherry does nothing

I read this as “detergent” at first and was so lost as to why a clothing soap company would even advertise a product as “no chew”. Like there’s some big issue with dogs chewing up detergent bottles. A big enough issue that they realize they can get a leg up on their competition if they have a product that is less enticing for dogs to chew. Then I used my eyes correctly.
This has been reposted a thousand times.
Don’t give your dog a challenge. It will take it.
Failed successfully instructions unclear
Why are products like this named so poorly?
Chapstick comes to mind.
My puppy was chewing furniture so we sprayed it with this stuff. My puppy took a sniff and then happily settled down to lick it off.
My dog did the same thing to a book called ”why does my dog do so”
I can't imagine a more ironic image
FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME
Had something similar happen: we bought a spray that was meant to deter dogs from urinating or defecating somewhere they shouldn't be.
Imagine our surprise when instead of a deterrent they lapped it up and tried to also eat the bottle..
Ironic, it could save other items from being chewed but not itself

My sister got something similar when she first got her dog. The dog was more likely to lick and chew whatever she sprayed with it. Didn't quite work the way she had hoped.
Use Tabasco sauce on the surfaces your dog chews on. They will immediately stop and it does knot hurt the dog
You became the very thing you swore to destroy
How do you even use that? Do you spray it into the stuff that you don’t want to be chewed, or do you spray it onto your dog like he’s a bad cat and it’ll magically stop chewing
If it's no chew deterrent then what is it?
My dog and your dog must be related...
That wasn't supposed to happen.
But it did happen.

Looks like that doesn’t work! Hahaha
“No-Chew?! Psshhh. Hold my bone...”
So much for the chewing part, but it does also stop "biting, licking and scratching" seems to work for those.
That might be the most ironic thing I've ever seen!
Is it safe for a dog to get into that?
Well, it did deter no chewing.
