Though we've talked about moving your shoes and picking up small objects from the floor, what about things like the sofa legs, kitchen table legs, chair legs, or the carpeting? These four items seem to be those that Maltipoos gravitate towards when teething.
In addition, adult Maltipoos of any age may develop a chewing habit, and may also target these things.
No matter your dog's age, the advice is the same.
If you are keeping your Maltipoo tethered to you, and when you cannot do that you're keeping your pup in his/her playpen, there'll be very few times that those furniture pieces can become the object of chewing.
This said, if this does happen, you can use a chewing deterrent spray. Keep in mind that these work to varying degrees, depending on the puppy. Most are formulated with bitter apple, which is a taste that most canines simply hate. However, there will always be that occasional dog that somehow powers through it to reach what he wants to chew on. Or, despite what should be an awful taste, a dog may not mind the flavor.
