Yellow Sassy eats and licks at her paws when she's in a crate. Tried everything. One night of Habanero Sauce..... no paw licking and half the water bucket empty. Frank Jacobs once said, you gotta be smarter than the dog!

Poor pups will dance like crazy, lol.
We mash habanero's up in vinegar and make a thick paste paint on chains ,dog houses ,buckets or what ever they chew on.it will stop them from chewing.pick the peppers when they turn orange .
I will give that a whirl. I just inherited a barrel getter. I will give it a try. I can't imagine I would lick or chew on that paste. Great idea. EWO
Works like a charm for those hard keepers

I have a male who is chewing on his testicles and not gently at all. He hasn't hurt them yet or caused swelling, etc... I think I might have to try something like this to stop him because he is one of those that I want something off of in the future
If you try to put, let's say alcohol solution, in your testicles you will dance like crazy. I have a feeling that spicy hot peppers would produce the same result, I have no intention to try it. I also have a feeling that the dog's testicles will react the same. If this is true, you might kick him in there as well, no difference.
I guess it really depends what activates the sensation hot sauce gives you. had some hot sauce on my hands today with no burning sensation. but when you eat habanaro yourself you tend to spread it around the outside of your mouth also. so possibly could be burning his nuts too... but that may be all apart of the experience that stops him from doing it. it's not gonna melt his nuts lol.
What are you feeding your dog?Quote:

But I think this conversation is not going in the right direction.

Might he have a fungus on his nuts or some other such malady?
If it's any kind of a topical fungus or bacterial infection sulfurated lime dip reigns supreme ...

Thanks, I'll try that just to be certain. Ive brought him in the house since I first posted and bathed him, etc... Just been keepin an eye on him and working on the "behavior" so to speak.Quote:

My Red Sonja bitch used to chew on her hind leg for the hell of it ... never hurt herself, just enjoyed chewin.
Persmart had this godawful bitter shit. I accidentally got it on my hands. Bitter as fock. Best 12.00 I ever spent
Good feed doesn;t mean there can't be a food allergy. It might also be a protein intolerance for the particular animal used in the feed.
Weird spot tho.
An old trick for people eating their nails was quinine.
Regarding nut self-licking for humans, I think yoga could do wonders, also in money preservation strategies as it costs a hell less than a girlfriend. Obviously the above statement is based on strictly personnal experience.
