What's a good chewing deterrent?

[SofaBear]

Can someone recommend a good chewing deterrent product like Bitter Apple, except one that really works? I have not found it to be an effective product.
My 10-month-old Sheltie still can't resist chewing some things. And the new puppy-to-be will need a little deterrent too, I'm sure.

took it all we wanted to do was watch our puppy and crate
him when we couldn't watch him.

Clever.
Yes, I have some of that, too.

Just hoping someone might also know of a product they could recommend.
Thank you.

forget about products or gagets to stop chewing.
keep a watchful eye, crate, leash and train.

I'm with the others on this. Also, most of the bitter whatevers and that sort of products, don't work. Many dogs actually like the taste of them.

I mentioned in another thread about one of my dogs who used to like to play tug with the grill cover. Sounds funny, except he was a big strong dog and drug the grill off the patio, across the yard partway and it hit the ground backwards. My trainer recommended vinegar water 50/50 mix. 4 times a day, spritzed the grill cover, and the dog got a squirt in his mouth. He hated it. He didn't mind bitter apple.

Did that for a few days and he never messed with the grill cover again.

This would obviously smell quite terrible for use indoors.

Thank your good old fashioned, ego-free "household hint". I appreciate it.
