Dog Chewed Wire In Half, Can I fIx It?

Question

My dog just chewed through the wire on my straighteners...

anyone know how i can fix it without having to buy a new pair or buying a new wire?
i was thinking that i could cut the wire and rejoin it by taping it up???

how can i join it without tape?

Answer 1

if its the plastic cover on the wire you can just put tape on it,if there are more than one wire in the cord you will have to tape them separately so they don't touch each other.if your dog chewed it in half you can twist the wires back together then tape.be sure to tape the wires separately in the cord.

Answer 2

Best thing is to replace the whole cord. If you can't do that, go to the hardware store and ask for marrrs (no joke, that's what they are really called) connectors. They look like little platsic caps and they twist on over the joint in the wire. They are cheap and come in different sizes to fit different size wires. Take the cord you want to fix with you to show the clerk, so you can get the right size connectors for your cord.
Once you have them, cut the wire and separate the two wires. Strip about 3/16 to 1/4 inch of the insulation off each of the ends. Twist two of the ends together and then twist the marrs connector over the exposed wires you just twisted. Do the same for the other pair of wire ends. Now wrap some electrical tape tightly around the whole thing and you're done.

I once had an elderly lady for a friend. She had a wonderful little dog. A mix of some sort. She had the dog trained well and it behaved very well. Learn here https://tr.im/epOKw

She kept an uncovered candy dish on her coffee table with candy in it. The dog was forbidden to eat the candy. When she was in the room observing the dog he did not even appear to notice the candy. One day while she was in her dinning room she happened to look in a mirror and could see her dog in the living room. He did not know he was being watched. For several minutes he was sitting in front of the candy bowl staring at the candy. Finally he reached in and took one. He placed it on the table and stared at it, he woofed at it. He stared some more, licked his chops and PUT IT BACK in the bowl and walked away. Did he want the candy, oh yeah. Did he eat it? Nope. They can be trained that well but most, I'll admit, are not trained that well. When I was a young boy, maybe 5 years old. We had a german shepherd. He was very well trained also. My mom could leave food unattended on the table, no problem. She would open the oven door and set a pan roast beef or roast chicken on the door to cool. No problem. He would not touch it, watched or not. But butter? Whole other story. You leave a stick of butter anywhere he could reach and it was gone. He was a large shepherd so there were not many places he could not reach. Really, I think the number of dogs trained to the point they will leave food alone when not being supervised is very small indeed.

Now if we are talking obedience training, not food grubbing, that is a different story. Way back when I was first learning obedience training one of the final exercises was to put our dogs in a down/stay and not only leave the room but leave the building for 15 minutes. The only person that stayed was our trainer, not the owners. Most of the dogs in my class did not break their stay, which would be an automatic fail. I'm happy to report my dog was one of the ones that passed.

Answer 4

Are you talking about electrical wire?

If you are talking about a wire on an electrical chord, if it is long enough you could cut the chord shorter and re-wire the chord inside the fixture. I don't recommend taping a wire back together if it is an electrical chord. Someone could get easily electrocuted that way. In that instance it would be well worth it to replace the chord instead.

Answer 5

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aUOpt

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Answer 6

Yes you can repair it, but the dog will probably chew it up again. To stop the dog from doing this make sure that it is left unplugged and out of the dogs reach. Live electrical circuits give off a sound only dogs can hear and that is why they chew on them.

Answer 7

you can cut the piece and rejoin the other part but NOT TAPING them, but the best way is to take off the whole cable and replace it with a new one, any cable compatible from any store, just replace it and thats all.
