i know this might seem mean but it was the only way that i could get my dog to stop being too friendly with my plants...she(my dog) would come into the grow room sniff my plants then try to eat them(keep in mind this is a 70lbs pitbull) well after losing one the next time she did it i hit her and said no(more like punched her but not hard enough to hurt) well she did it once more and after that she got the idea..now she just looks at them and walks away
