Puppy dragging and chewing pee pads: Will bitter apple spray work?

Question

My puppy keeps dragging his pee pads onto his bed and loves chewing on them. Would spraying bitter apple spray help avoid this or will it make him avoid using the bathroom on the pad all together? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 3 months and 14 days old | 14.4 lbs

It will not likely deter him from eating them. The seem to not the lick the taste for the first lick, then it wears off and they go right back to chewing it. It does have potential to make him avoid it also. I would try to tape the edges of the pad down so he cannot move them. Once he quits that behavior and the habit is broken, you won't have to worry about it. Also make sure he has a rotation of toys so he does not get bored with the same ones
