Get a hard plastic tube...i believe it is called pvc piping.  They also make wire covers or guards for babies look up childproofing cords on google and see if you can find them.

all puppies chew.  keep your electric wires out of his reach for awhile until he outgrows the teething stage.  as for biting you, gently stop him by telling him "no".  he's not going to get over chewing on you without training.

Answer 10

my dog does that to,  your dogs a pupp like mine and thay usually stop in about six months when there halfay to being an adult dog . but you should lightly hit him on the nose if he bites people and say no!

Answer 11

When your dog bites you, however tempting it may be, DO NOT, pull your hand back! This signifies that you want to play and your dog will continue to bite you. Instead, leave your hand in his mouth and say, "No," very firmly, and give him a chew toy to chew on instead. If he does praise him. About the electric wires, spray all of them with lemon juice, vinegar, chili juice, or bitter apple spray. Also, if you catch him in the act, you can:

-Say, "No!" very firmly.

-Shake a can filled with marbles to startle him, or make a loud noise to distract him

-Spray his mouth with lemon juice, vinegar, chili pepper juice, or bitter apple/sour lemon spray

Drag him away and say, "No!" if he still does not stop.

Good luck!

Answer 12

Answer 13

if the dog really likes chewing, get a rawhide chew bone.

Answer 14

My dog is a 13 week old shitzue and he had the same problem I bought him a pigs ear from the vet and he loved to chew it and he never chewed a wire again...... Well maybe once or twice but no more than that.

Answer 15

Take them off the floor cause it could be dangerous

find like a scent or something he doesn't like and out it on so he doesn't go near them;that could help too

Answer 16

hit him not hard but slow it helps alot....

Answer 17

as soon as he starts biting you or making any contact with human skin give him a toy and move away....

Tape wires up to the wall or just unplug them and out them up high when not using them

I went through the same thing except with 8 puppies not just one!

Answer 18

Give him a little spank and say no to him. ♥

Answer 19

You can buy some inexpensive PVC pipe at Home Depot or Lowe's and put the wires through them to keep them out of his reach.  It doesn't look really nice, but it really works well to keep the wires out of his mouth.  You need to start teaching him now that biting is unacceptable.  When he does it if you are playing, just say no firmly, then stop playing with him for awhile and turn away from him.  He will soon realize that when he bites, you don't play with him any more.  it may take awhile, but he will soon understand.  He's still a puppy and mouthing is common during this time.  

Answer 20

Spend more time with him, train him, and give him a nice bone for his age. All dogs do this when they are young soon when he grows he will stop.

Answer 21

put a foul tasteing spray on them

Answer 22

Get your dog a chew toy of some type. He may be teething so watch out for little teeth. If your puppy continues to chew of the wire after you have told him to stop than you may need to gently pat him on the nose and tell him NO!. Don't hit him hard or scold him too much because you don't want to turn him into a mean dog. I would definatly get him a rubber chew toy and try to have him chew that. He might like it.  

Answer 23

Well, I'm no dog professional, but maybe you could get him a chewing toy? My neighbor says it works fine for him. Maybe it's because he's growing teeth? If I were you, I'd take him to the vet. I'm sure a vet knows more than me, and he/she could help you resolve the problem.

Hope this helps!

Answer 24

You must be a live wire yourself!

Seriously, some dogs just like to chew, and he doesn't know that the wires are off limits.  So, you should discourage him with a firm "No!", and a light slap on the nose.

Answer 25

Put something on the cordse like a protective thing.
