Bitter apple for barking. Someone told me to try this as a training tool for my barking puppy. You folks are'nt going to like this BUT I did cup my hands around his little face to protect his eyes and sprayed a "light" spray onto the outside of his mouth. I only had to do this once and after that I just showed him the bottle and he stopped his insistant barking. I "might" have to spray him now very rarely to remind him. Again after that....I only show him the bottle....he licks his lips and remembers and stops barking. He is a small dog so he was a barker! Of course he still barks at things BUT now he is more choosy because of this bitter apple. I also use it for his paw chewing and it doe'snt last very long as the rest of the reviews say, BUT it does help. 04/14/2013
this product does work just doesn't last I am using Bitter Apple and it does work but it does not last long and you seem to be always spraying it. If could be made to last longer between sprays I feel that the product would work better. Of course when it works longer the taste also would have to last longer. All in all it is a good product and it does work but it has still room for inprovement. 01/13/2013
Small dog It works for a short amount of time, you have to spray it on the items again in a few hours. Thats what i found out. 10/29/2012
Boo Bought this to prevent my rescue min pin from licking his leg. He had a huge raw lick spot from being in a kennel and a lack of attention. He licks it off. It doesn't even phase him. Now I watch and just tell him no and block his leg. 10/23/2012
Mixed results I had mixed results with this product. My girl had a sore on her foot and the Vet recommended this to try and keep her from licking and chewing the medication off. Yes, she hated the taste of it, but it didn't stop her from licking and chewing on the sore. She'd lick then shake her head violently while making awful faces then continue to lick. Maybe she's just to stubborn... I resorted to observing and playing with her for an hour or so and just giving verbal commands to not lick whenever she attempt to and that seems to have worked better for her. Definitely try it to see if it works for your dog though. Every dog's different. 10/06/2012

Answer: 
By using the Bitter Apple on your curtains you will probably find that one application will do the trick. Bitter Apple can be used on the pet if they are licking or bitting their body and that is why the directions say spray as needed. If your pet returns to the behavior of chewing the curtains it is safe to use several times.

Answer: 
Bitter Apple spray is a taste-deterrent; it has a bitter flavor that dogs find unpleasant, which therefore discourages chewing or biting the surface upon which it is sprayed. It is meant for use in dogs only, and will not stop your cat from scratching furniture.

Answer: 
Yes, Bitter Apple Spray is safe for rabbits. It is a deterent against chewing but sometimes not always effective for the rabbit. Some rabbits simply don't mind the taste.
