They make a product called Bitter Apple too; to stop chewing puppies. Didn't work with our brainless border collie, but I know it works for some pups. I tried putting hot sauce on the wood to keep him from chewing. Who woulda thunk I got a half mexican brainless border collie?!?
I think you're right about the tetherball pickles. Let me know how it comes out.
