My Sheltie chews wires. Would this work by spraying the wires? Or, if i caught him and sprayed him, would it make him stop chewing wires?

Not sure about spraying it on the wires. If you catch him chewing and spray him it is very effective . After a couple of times , all you have to do is show him the bottle!

I use it for when i see my dogs doing a un wanted behavior. It works pretty good for my dogs. It dont smell like much to me but my pup hates it n now all i have to do is hold up the bottle and he stops doing the unwanted behavior

For spraying the wire use Grannick's Bitter Apple, if you want to spray while he chews you can try also spraying him with Stop training spray but you need to have perfect timing...which won't work while you are away. You should try giving him something safe to chew on and make sure he is not in the crate too long. Make sure he feels being in the crate is a safe place...spraying him in the crate if he does not understand why could backfire and make it worse for him.

I don't know if it works with cats, I have a cat also and never try to use it with her. (she seems to listen only to my oldest Sheltie). I don't see why it wouldn't its just a loud pssting sound there's no contract with the animal. I use the spray because it's the only thing I found to help with the barking. I have 3 Shelties and their herders and Bark at the drop of a hat. This is the only thing I've found that helps control the barking. Hope I help answer your question.

Probably in the long run not well. Use anti-chew spray on the rope and it should be prevented. I let the lead drag on the ground and you can tell there is abrasion so I would assume the same would occur with a puppy.

It was very difficult to do this on my dog too. He wanted to bite on the swabs. I distracted him with putting a clean toy on the opposite side of his teeth. While he was biting on that I was able to place the swab on the other cheek. Wisdom Panel says to ovoid letting the dog chew on anything 2 hour prior to the data collection, however, I had no choice. It was either that or no sample at all. Also, at first I tried with my own swab to see how he will tolerate it, after he relaxed I quickly switched to the swabs provided in the package. Good luck, hope it works out for you!

It should. The wire is buried and a warning beep when they get close to it. If they ignore the warning and get cloer to the wire it gives a shock until they back off from the wire. It has different settings for the shock strength. We have a medium size dog and it is on the lowest setting. Before we knew what to set it on she got close enough to be zapped and she yelped...so it must have been pretty strong as she NEVER does that.We lowered it immediately! It DID leave a lasting impression on her though. Hope this was of some help.

I don't know if this would work. Ours is set at a very low distance and doesn't go off until the dog is right on it, so it might work. If you just needed one section of it, you could twist the wires on the rest of the circle and have just one area be live

Did you ever find out how to replace the wires coming out of the bike? Of course our dog ate the ones coming out of the bike, not the one they sell on the website. Thanks

If your cat chewed threw the wires. and you said your not getting sound. the problem is where he chewed the wire. Cut that part away if it's a small area, and re connect the wire without any one touching the other. I like to solder my wires than tape them. If it does not work just buy a new set, there cheap and they sound great for the money

it's best if the wire is buried where people walk. it doesn't have to be buried to work. both ends of the wire connects to the rock and forms a loop. I initially tried to make a very narrow loop about 30' long and 5' wide but I believe the electric field from each wire cancelled the signal out. Frustrating to have the dog just sit on top of the wires and nothing happening. This is very nice solid core copper wire. I also tried braided speaker wire (works), and aluminum wire (works). both far cheaper alternatives.

Hi, make sure the collar is tight enough that the electrodes contact the skin. We have a golden retriever and I had to make sure the collar was tight because of all her hair. Hope this helps.

I think the product has some sort of guarantee if chewed through the outer layer. You would have to check with the manufacturer

No,this is an application determent, it only works if the chew on the fence, and then if they can jump or scoot through it it will not work

I have no idea, we just got the starter kit to see if our sheltie was interested. It sounds like the starter kit has less to it.

I did something similar to deter squirrels...just 2 wires (gnd, hot) about 1.5" apart...works like a champ!

If he will let you spray it on him and rub it in a bit, it does seem to help loosen them. It won't get rid of them completely, but it does seem to prevent the tangles from getting worse as the fur grows out, so in theory after a while the mats could just be pulled right off.

Check you speaker connections, and speaker wires for chew marks if you have a pet. If that does not work the right channel is blown and it could be just a fuse or receptor which will require service.

My part sheltie rescue is now on his 3rd collar since May. I don't think he got hung and activated the breakaway feature. He has never slipped his standard collar.He is very active and outside a lot. It works well no fleas no attached ticks while wearing it. That's why I've replaced it 2 more times than I wanted to. If I replace it again I'm thinking about attaching it to the inside of his standard collar
