They were tearing up our flower bushes. They dont just dig them up they get on their hind legs and eat the buds off the rose bush!! They tore up my jasmine that was in a planter and their Aunt chewed up my new wysteria!! Since they were bad I put them in their crates and the boy pup has been barking his head off ever since!! They are crate trained and almost 4 months. His sister doesn't bark. I feel like pulling my hair out! I'll just have to wait it out.
What I do to keep puppies away from what they have no business touching is; put a dab of Hot Sauce around the area. Then take the Hot Sauce bottle and lightly touch it to their top lip, they will smell it and then lick their lip and find quickly they don't like it and will avoid any area that they smell it.
When I say lightly I mean lightly too, you want them to just get the smell and a taste, not burn their tonsils {SP} out. LOL Although that may work for the barking but not recommended.
