CHEWING
Other than her constant biting and jumping in order to bite my shorts etc. my little 11 week old piglet has developed quite the habit of chewing. She is like a beaver in just a few minutes she managed to chew up a coffee table to the point that I don't think I will be able to repair it (sand/stain).
What do you guys recommend to discourage chewing other than the obvious fact of constant supervision. I have tried some bitter cherry type spray and well she actually likes the taste of it and will lick it right out of the bottle.

Sometimes there is an underlying factor. Boredom, hunger, to much time alone ect. Start there.
If its none of the above.
Find something she approves of as a healthy alternatives.
Antlers, nyla bones, Himalayan dog chews, raw hides, stuffed animals, bully sticks, old shoes, anything, at times i even make my own. with enough work you can find an acceptable alternative. But some require constant supervision, or extensive research to find an acceptable source.
There is somthing out there she will go nuts for, you just have to find it.
But the best remedy is exhaustion.
I know every dog is different but Chooba iz 2 years in Feb. He has At least 2 of every chew toy known to man and I make serious effort to exert as much of his energy as possible daily.
He has yet to chew on anything of value. (Fingers crossed)
