So about the puppies

they are really getting on my nerves about the TT. Now they have decided the Tt don't need brakes, and have taken the brake wires loose on one side. SO. I'm thinkin, I will fix it, and then spray the under side of the TT with red peppers ground up, or could I just use pepper spray.

To be clear. Not going to spray the dogs. Just the TT.

    Your local Feed and Grain store or Tractor Supply sell a product called Bitter Apple. It comes in a one pint spray bottle. Spray your wires with this and nothing, from puppies to pack rats will ever touch your wires again. While it is non toxic resist the temptation to taste this stuff, the guy at the store was emphatic about this.... he said "you'll be sorry" doesn't even come close to covering it.

    Thanks. I'll go today.

    and the pups are in a fence, but the TT is in there as well.

  • Or get a portable fence to go around your trailer

    We periodically have issues with the sheep under our trailer (parking is next to one of the barns); they have chewed wires and pulled the Al siding off the bottom wedge of an outside wall. I've been thinking about cutting strips of vinyl lattice to block access to under the trailer while leaving access for us to the steps.

    The chickens like rooting around under the trailer; Sam likes laying under the trailer in the summer.
  • Build a fenced in run for the dogs so they can't get to the trailer. Most places recommend fencing in dogs to keep them safe from traffic and other dangers.
