[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 557268, member: 1233"] Not sure what WM carries, but the area feed stores should have bitter apple. It is intensely bitter and nasty and most dogs will avoid it like the plague. But a better solution is to combine the various things the others have said. it is also very possible that she has a very strong need to 'work' and boredom is the problem. for that I recommend investing in a feeder toy or two. Then she gets a very small portion of food when you feed the others, and she has a special toy that you put most of her daily food into. She has to push it or turn it or move it to get a few bits of kibble. This will keep her busy and give her something more productive to do. This can be super helpful. You can find the toys on amazon or at pet stores. The other issue, which may be more to the point, is that she is trying to get your attention on her and away from the boys. She knows if she chews then you will come scold her. Not sure the best way to handle that part of the issue, but maybe someone else here has ideas. [/QUOTE]
