    Dogs can pick up a chewing habit if they're bored and too energized. Not trying to assume anything, but energetic walks and lots of play might help get her excess energy out.

    I don't know how much training you've done with your dog or how often you are able to supervise her, but it might be worth to try training her to leave the items alone (instead of buying an expensive repellant). So when she's under your supervision and you spot her chewing something she's not supposed to have, ask her to leave it (this will obviously be a lot easier if you've already taught her that command) and then reward her with lots of treats and praise when she does it (make a huge fuss over her, she'll love it!). That alone will help her to realise she shouldn't be chewing it, but after the treats and praise you should give her something she can chew, such as a bone or dog chew or a toy to play with. That way she'll be distracted by that positive item and not bother with the chargers and garbage XD I wouldn't expect that to work overnight or anything, but dogs are intelligent so I'm sure she'll pick it up quickly! Cute Good luck!

    @ Oliver Queen;
    Don't get me started on dogs + Headphones in the last month I've bought 5 pairs going for 6 this one is almost broken from my other dog Bandit stealing them and chewing on them. Dogs are the devil, my cat is no better but at least theres only one of him I have two little brat dogs.

    @ Let Live Again;
    I know what you're going through. My cat does this. He's been good when it comes to chargers but he'll chew my headphones. I gave up on getting decent headphones and settling for ones from dollar tree. lol

    It's either bitter/sour apple or bitter/sour cherry; you spray it on whatever she usually chews and once she gets a taste of it, she'll stop. Or put hot sauce on the cords. I've actually used the sprays before and they work.

    My puppy done the same thing, he's 2 now. But I couldn't get him to stop thought. He chewed through my phone wire, chargers to my phone. I had no idea what to do. But I found something I cant remember the name of it. You spray it and they dont go near the stuff. But I cant remember what it was called to save my life.

    When I get Writer's block. I either rewatch the show if I am writing a show, or listing to music to see if anything happens. I hope that helps honey :(
