Spray the slowers with an anti-pet spray! They’re usually all natural and just have apple cider vinegar or another harsh flavor that will deter your pet from trying to eat them in the future!

You could try to put your flowers in hanging baskets or get non toxic plants and just try not to let you dog eat them but it’s ok if he/she does

Fig leaf is right! Just use the anti spray and he/she will stop!

You can associate eating the plants with a bad thing, watch your dog and Everytime they try to eat the plants make a noise or play one that is really loud (such as an airhorn) and your dog would no longer want to go eat the plant anymore. Or you can search up a simple training method to make your dog get that going near your plants us a no go, or you can go the easy way and put up small fences (I think you know what I mean) so the area is restricted, my friend does that with her plants so her dog won’t eat them while her/ her family has gone out
