Keep Fido off the couch

Many pet owners do not want their dog on the couch and have tried many creative ways to train their dog to stay off the couch. Some have tried putting bubble wrap on the sofa, spraying the furniture with a dog repellent, or even putting mouse traps on the furniture. While these methods might have some success, the training is not a positive experience for your dog.

If you want your dog to stay off the furniture, try giving your dog furniture of his own, like a nice dog bed to lie in. Every time your dog goes to his doggie bed give him a treat, such as a toy with a treat inside. When the dog leaves his bed make sure to remove the treat. After a while Fido will go to his bed when you tell him to and he will no longer be using your furniture to lounge on.
