I have an 8 month old puppy who has started chewing on doors/moldings. We are working on the training and have used the bitter apple spray but would like to know if anybody has come across any product or home made recipe that could be added to paint in order to make it taste bad if the puppy chews on it. Would like to do this to add another deterrent layer when he is alone, thanks!
it sounds like the transmission is roasted if it is shuddering when it is shifting gears.
first have the codes read. at a shop. it will save you money in the long run.
it may well be that your engine idle speed is to low , best to take it to auto box shop ask them to first road test it which they will do and give their opinion what is the best thing to do about it
Paint has a sweet smell and taste to many animals. I have heard of adding cayenne pepper to paint, but I've never tried it. I have used remedies like vinegar and moth balls though. Spray the affected area with apple cider vinegar and repeat as need be. The vinegar smell will dissipate in several hours. Spread moth balls near the affected area. Warning, some puppies have been known to eat moth balls, which can make them sick. Pay close attention that your puppy will not eat the moth balls. As soon as they realize moth balls are not edible, they won't try eating them again.
A friend of mine simply rubbed his down with jalepeno juice (and actually moved up tpo habenero for one stubborn pup) . Having dealt with paints for many years, I am not aware of any additives just preventatives after painting. I would try rubbing them down BEFORE painting, and give puppy the idea that he doesn't want to be trying to chew on it. Hopefully, the experience will be bad enough that he won't want to try it after it has been re-painted. If so, simply rub it down again.
