The preparation is designed to discourage chewing and biting behaviors in young dogs. It typically contains a bitter-tasting ingredient, often derived from apples, that renders treated surfaces unpalatable to canines. Application involves spraying the liquid onto items a puppy might be inclined to mouth, such as furniture, shoes, or even its own fur, with the intention of interrupting and redirecting the unwanted action.
This deterrent serves as an important tool in puppy training, aiding in the prevention of destructive habits. By associating the undesirable activity with an unpleasant flavor, the subject animal learns to avoid the targeted items. The development and availability of this product offers a humane alternative to physical correction or constant vigilance, contributing to a less stressful environment for both the pet and owner.
