Enter the Bitter Apple Spray

Now that we've got our bitter apple spray, we've been able to more easily redirect Vinson's licking and chewing from items and spots he shouldn't be bothering. After just a few quick tastes from his favorite chew spot on the corner of the stairs, he hasn't returned to the spot for another try. We tell him "good boy" when he walks away and then reward him with a chew toy of his own. We'll see how it works in the long run, but so far there is an immediate difference.
