We have a 3 1/2 mth old puppy who has started to chew on the power cords under my desk. In the past 2 nights she has chewed through the power cord for my VoIP phone, my mobile charger and the charger for my laptop. We bought a "stop chew" spray that does taste bitter (I tested) however when we sprayed it on a peg and gave it to her she the taste didn't seem to bother her. She has plenty of chew toys and other things to chew on.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what we can spray/wipe on the cables that might deter her from chewing on them?

well we tried a thai hot chilli sauce (not quite as hot a wasabi but up there taste wise) however that didn't seem to work. We coated a clothes peg with it and she happily chewed it up plus licked the excess off my finger (older dog also seemed to enjoy the flavour too)

My puppy hates lime juice, maybe try that? Eating power cords is very dangerous, your puppy could electrocute herself.
When it starts sniffing there, distract her with a chew toy and praise her when she takes it. You might want to consider finding a way to shield the cords as well.

percentpipe is a competent thank you to conceal the cords in case you have quite a few that are going to the comparable place. you would be able to additionally tape the cords to the partitions so the doggies can not get to them. yet differently to conceal the cords would be to get some coping or trim like what is going around doors (abode depot or lowe's) and run the cords in the back of that. bitter Apple is a sprig which you will try, or mixture some cayenne pepper with somewhat water and unfold that on the cords. make specific your doggies have a lot of solid chewies so as that they are in a position to change their chewing to a minimum of a few thing you prefer them to chunk on. in case you notice them start up to chunk, interrupt them with a pointy eh-eh and provide them a chunk toy to chunk on fairly. With a lot of affection and practise, they would be taught to not chunk on your cords.

I know clove oil works for cats. I guess it may work for dogs too, because it is a local anaesthetic and it creates a strange feeling on your mouth. It is not dangerous or anything. By the way, it is the best solution whenever you have a toothache too!
