Default Unanswered: Chewing - Help!

My two male, black lap and rottiweiler cross they chew everything. But mostly they chew on electrical cords, and its costing me alot of money to have to replace everything that they chew on, and I dont want to have to get rid of them but if this keeps persiting im going to have to. And Im really trying for that to be my last opition. They have lots of toys and bones to chew on but they would rather chew on them. Please help, any suggestions would be very helpful!

Spray all cords with Bitter Apple, hide all of your cords, and cover thier bones in peanut butter. It should help a lot.

While trying Luna's suggestions you can simultaneously correct them when they chew on something that's off limits & give them whatever is chew appropriate & then praise. You should also work on teaching them the "leave it" command so that you are not wrestling things out of their mouth. It's better to get them to drop it first by command then replace with toy/treat. You can crate them when you're not around until they become reliable.
