How to stop dog from gnawing on antique posts
My young (6 months) female Shiba Inu keeps gnawing on our antique wood roof posts.

They are a few centuries old, and therefore splinter easily - which I guess is half the fun for her.

We've tried sprays for furniture but it didn't work. Neither has wrapping the posts with cling film (Saran wrap).

We are considering brushing a chili powder concoction on the posts.

Does anyone have advice?

Use plain old water in a clean spray bottle, and spritz when you catch the pup in the act.

You have not had any answers so here is an idea.

Take a light packing foam. Not the bubble stuff - a light foam. You could even use newspaper. Soak it in a bitter apple or chili powder or ... and wrap some legs.

Brush chili powder also seems like a good idea.
