Chewing my car
For the second time in less than a month, I had to take my car to the dealer
because the ABS light was going on. What does it have to do with my dog? He is the cause of that. I'm trying to adopt the pet wizzard approach, but in this case I need something imediate to do with my dog. It's a matter of personal safety (he could have chewed the brake lines) I WILL stop by petco today and get some kind of repellent to spray under my car, doesn't matter if it is considered mistreating or not. It is either that or put him to sleep outside. For the long run, I'd appreciate if you could suggest how to teach him not to go under the car. Padu ..--. .- -.. ..- |

Hi Padu,
I agree with Paula, kennel him inside the house if possible. This would be the better option. Be careful with what you spray on your brake lines as the lines become very hot whilst driving and the spray may be flammable! (just a thought). This sort of problem can be dangerous, to you Padu, as a chewed up brake line can mean an accident on the road. This problem needs immediate attention not something that will take forever (if it does actually work!). If your dog must sleep near the car then perhaps try stacking some bricks around sides of the car, that way your dog cannot get through. Give your dog something interesting to play with and to chew on instead so he won't seek out your brake lines. Unfortunately, if you are not there you will not be able to control what is going on, so it is best to allow your dog inside the house to sleep. Lochiegirl Paula wrote in message . ..
