| A friend placed those wood baby gates on the sofas he didn't want his dog to use as beds. They were removed when guests came.
We go for the dogs are allowed on the sofa approach--after all, both sleep in the bed with us, so it's foolish to say they can't snooze on the sofas. (Our older dog even has her own chair--it's downstairs in the TV room & was bought new along w/ the sofa!)
We spent $700 to have the sofa in the living room reupholstered. The dogs can sleep on it whenever they want. I do have a nice blanket on the sofa that gets washed every other week. This blanket is removed when company stops by.
Both dogs know the "off" command because one thing we don't allow is for them to be on the sofas or bed, chewing a bone or other treat. |
