does it stop dogs from chewing door frames

It doesn't stop them from doing wee-wee, the odor does not repell them from where I wished. They seem to not mine the odor, don't know in tasting.

I would think it would as long as you catch them in the act and use it right away!

So far, so good with my extreme chewer. She's been chewing on woodwork since we got her (as well as removing trash from the trashcan). I bought two bottles of this stuff (one to keep near the trash and the other for the wood). I spritz the trash periodically and that seems to deter her most of the time. As far as the woodwork, she chewed on it one time as I was spritzing the bitter apple on and she was totally grossed out by the taste. I haven't caught her chewing on our door frames since the first spray.

I sprayed it on a corner baseboard where my pup found it convenient to chew, and it stopped instantly. Harley hasn't chewed on any of the wood furniture I've sprayed it on. Also, my oriental rug fringe he was so fond of. Haven't had any problems with the product staining anything I've sprayed it on either. I'm super happy with it. Now I can focus on training him to be a gentleman.

sooo sorry i cannot answer your question. have not used product yet. the problem i had with my dog was his chewing on his paws. for some reason he just stopped. it could be because i bought another dog. i think he is too busy with new puppy, that chewing on his paws is no longer a priority!

Yes. I bought a dog door this summer. I just had to use some silicon filler to fill in some gaps. Door works very well and it's worth the premium price

Yes. No real place from dogs to bite except small dogs. The side has the holes buy big dogs cant get in between. The gate is strong also.

It might if the door was jarred or thumped hard enough, but I suppose if they were able to do it gently, then no. Just my guess, haven't tried it personally. :) I've triggered mine mistakenly on occasion by bumping it or hitting it with the dog's fetch toys, but it's smart enough not to sound when the sliding glass doors are opened. Ultimately I think these alarms are designed for sounding upon breakage of the glass, they are definitely a good deterrent in that regard, but for covert entry through doors being opened(or removed) they probably won't fare so well, unless it was done in a forceful enough manner. Hope this info helped!

I do not know whether it will work on a metal door frame. I can confirm though that it works where a single button push will activate multiple chimes placed in different locations of the house.We are close to trashing ours after just a year of use. The batteries are very quick to drain down. In addition, it will simply let out a chime at random times a couple times a month. I can't recall what rating I gave this product, but can tell you I will never buy another one.

Yes. I added an L bracket to the top of the pet door to secure it to the top of the door frame for added rigidness.

I do not believe this would help with protecting your wood from the chewing. It just really protects the paint on the wood from my 9 lb. Yorkie scratching to go out. He is not a "yappy" dog, he is actually very quiet for a Yorkie, but he scratches the door frames up, so when we painted this summer we placed this over the newly painted doors where he scratches and it has held up well for almost 4 months. Hope that helps.

I would not use this product to keep a dog from nipping. This product does an amazing job keeping both my dogs from pulling, however they are still able to open their "mouths" widely.

Have the screen in the door replaced with the heavy-duty, "pet-proof" screen. It wears like iron. We still had a problem with the frame of the pet door coming apart. I finally used wire to "sew" the frame together and into the screen. I did this at intervals---like in each corner and in the center of each side and the bottom. We have one lab and one terrier---they fly through the pet door without a problem now.

I'm sorry Deb I have never tested that I was trying to get our dog to stop barking when he was in the house and looking out the window. That worked GREAT

Other than the large dog that may be inside, there is nothing to stop this. There is a thick plastic insert that blocks easy entrance when you need it, but technically if they wanted they could break the whole thing off. But really they could break through a window or flimsy door just as easily.

My cabinet has glass doors and it works thru those. I don't know about wood doors. If the dog walks in front of the receiver when I'm trying to work the remote it doesn't work. I think you need a clear path

Yes. We have adjusted it to not lock upon closing as this is used at the top of the stairs to prevent the family dog from coming downstairs. We do leave it open when she is not around.

Well, my dog completely destroyed her wooden doghouse but hadn't tried to eat the igloo months after purchase. So while I can't speak to the durability if chewed on, the problem is solved if no chewing happens at all.

Yes, the door comes framed with an attached swinging panel that the dogs go through. The dogs love it.

Yes, dogs with a mind to do it can knock it over. It is free standing so does not come with hardware to attach it to doorways.

The frame is made out of plastic and the top two pieces holding the door are not very strong, especially for a big dog. This door did not hold up and broke quickly. The doors that are made with the plastic flap are much better. They have magnets to keep them in place and the frame around them are much stronger and can even be reinforced with zip ties if need be.
