Keeping Your Dog Off of the Furniture

Labrador Retriever Blog | December 3rd, 2008

From time to time I still see people complaining about their labrador retrievers or their pets ruining their furniture. I never have much to say but think about it, is it the pets fault or your fault? If you are going to give your dog access to your furniture then you are going to have it covered in dog hair. It’s a simple as that. If you have gone out and bought some fancy Moroccan furniture and then you let your dog all over it then who is to blame? You are.

We were the same way for awhile. We would leave our dog alone in the living room while we went out and then he would be all over the couch. Well we were to blame because we didn’t properly train him to stay off of the furniture or we did nothing to stop him because we left him with full access to the couch.

If you want to save your Moroccan furniture then I would suggest that when you go out you leave your dog in another room in the house or block off the room with the furniture that you want to save. If you can’t do that then you can put down an old blanket over the furniture while you are out. Or you can look into training your dog not to get on the couch which is always easier said then done.
