I try to have my kids keep their toys off the floor and keep the toy room door closed, but any chance he gets, our chihuahua will chew on their toys. What can I do to get him not to do this even when he has the opportunity to?
Spray them with a sour apple spray. You can get it at your vet.

Let the dog chew up the toys. It will teach your kids to pick up their things. There should be consequences when your kids don’t do as they’re told. The consequences of not picking up their toys means the dog chews on them and destroys them.
Do not buy replacement toys. Kids need to learn to do as they’re told. The kids also need to know it’s their own fault if the dog chews up their toys, and not to blame the dog.
Edit: Putting crap on toys? How disgusting! That crap will get on the kids’ hands, and kids put their hands on everything in the house…you’ll have apple spray and vapo rub on your furniture and such.

Put Vicks Vapo-Rub on them, just a little bit. Both dogs and cats cannot go near that scent. It’s less expensive then the Apple spray.
