Lets see, if your dog chewed the wires, he probably did it right at the valves. Here's what you do (depending on how many valves you have)
1. Each valve solenoid has 2 wires coming out of it. Grab one (of the 2- it doesn't matter which) wire from each valve and twist them together. Call this the COMMON wire (usually white).
2. Go to the clock/timer/controller and look to see where the wires are connected. Check to see which color wire is deginated as the COMMON wire (or doesn't have a station number designation)
3. Once you find out which wie is the common, go back to the valves and twist this wire onto your BUNDLE with a wire nut.
4. Connect the remaining wires at each valve to any corresponding wire (on the other end). Make sure that you eventually solidify these connections with waterproof wire connectors.
5. Check the stations at the clock, running individual stations and making sure the correct "run-times" correspond to the valve assignments- adjust or "flip" wires at the clock instead of switching wires at the valves.

just reconnect like-colored wires back together
