Puppy chewing plants: Any ideas?
"Sacha" wrote in message ... On 19/7/06 12:24, in article , "david taylor" wrote: "SallyJ" wrote in message oups.com... I have a new puppy who is at the stage where everything (and I mean everything) goes in his mouth! This includes flowers, leaves, twigs and anything else he finds around the garden. I checked up which plants were potentially poisonous and to my horror found that the list includes many common species including virtually all bulbs, philadelphus, ivy, delephiniums, lily of the valley, cherry laurel, clematis armandii, dicentra and many more! Does anyone have any good ideas about how to stop a puppy chewing these plants? Many thanks Sally Hayward http://www.garden-marketplace.co.uk Peace is the fruit of activity, not of sleep. - Ancient Egyptian proverb No smart ideas. The same issue can arise with children and grandchildren. Close attention, correction and reward is all I can offer. Regards David T When our still young Jack Russells & older wire haired dachies were paying too much attention to the ducks, we put a very low voltage rabbit fencing round the enclosure. Each dog touched his nose to it just once..... I do stress *very* low voltage but it's unexpected and was just enough to keep them away from that area as long as the ducks lived there. Do you think that would work with tree rats? Alan -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (email address on website) |
