To keep your dog or cat from chewing on electrical cords, rub the cord with a bar of soap.

I disagree with this method. Some dogs will lick and eat anything and soap might make the dog sick.
Depending on how old the dog is, I would try a remote training collar. These collars have a tone button and a shock button. The remote has several levels of both. I guarantee that the first time your dog is given a mild electric shock while his mouth is on the cord, he will never touch the cord again!
Make sure your dog sees the remote in your hand so he knows it was YOU that administered it. As you press the button to give the shock, say "NO"! in a loud and firm voice. He will get the message.

What can I spray on an electrical cord to prevent my cat from chewing on it?
Bitter apple spray from the horse feed store.
You can buy a corrugated flexible hose to cut and fit over electrical cords. It is meant to bundle electrical cords, but would make it very difficult for a cat to chew cords.
If you rub the cord with an orange peel it will stay away from it. Cats hate anything citrus. There was a cat in my neighborhood that would walk on my black car. I placed a couple orange peelings on the front and back bumper. Problem solved. Also put them in flower beds and cats will not use as a potty.
