Chewing Blankets

Question
I have a Catahoula that we found about 1 month ago.  I'm not sure of her age but I would guess that she is less than 1 YR. About the last 2 weeks we have had a problem with her chewing all my blankets and comforters.  Anything that she can chew that has batting(stuffing)in it she does.  I have given her chew toys bones etc. but she only wants to chew these things.... In about 2 weeks she has destroyed over 500.00 worth of blankets and bed coverings....What do I do?

Answer
Well what you can do is get a product called 'bitter apple and it can be bought at any petstore(if you can't find that brand just ask for something that you can spray on that stops the dog from chewing)

It doesn't stain anything and it won't hurt the dog but it does taste horrible(I have tried it myself)and the dog will hate the taste and spit it out
