I have a 6 month old Yorkie that loves to eat the wall in my hallway. Please help!!! Any suggestions on how to prevent this would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hi there,


This sounds like a typical chewing problem and a 6 month old dog is really still in the heart of a chewing phase. Please take a look at the section about chewing on this site, it will help. Also, at 6 months of age, and before being fully chew toy trained your dog should not be left unsupervised in a situation where s/he can chew the wall. I’d recommend the use of some sort of dog-proof confinement such as a crate or a playpen for when your dog can’t be fully supervised,


Best wishes!

I’ve been using a lime spray to prevent my three month old puppy from biting things she shouldn’t. It has a bitter taste so when she attempts to chew things that have been sprayed she doesn’t like the taste. I got it from the local pet store and so far it has worked well. That may work well for your problem.
