Do you let your GSD on your couch??

rustilldown · 05-11-2011, 03:30 PM

Do you let your dogs on the couch? Our pup, 4 1/2 months got on the couch the other day and let her stay because it was nice to have her there. We before would always tell her off. This is the first give-in I have ever had with her and I need to make the choice now if I am going to let her always be on the couch or not and enforce it. The only reason I would not want to is if we get new couches that are not leather I would not want her on them. Well, any new couches for that matter... HAHA! But have you all had positive experiances or negative? This may be the only thing she gets her way with

Yes, guilty! I do keep throws on the sofas though.

Stoli goes on the couch because as you said he got up once as a puppy and snuggled with me and I was hooked! He has never tried chewing other than one time in which he nibbled for a second but he didn't do any damage and stopped when redirected. The worst is at times he "burrows" in to the couch but again no damage occurs. Also we have a cloth couch and yes the clean up sucks and more often ppl end up with fur all over themselves but that's life lol

I do as well. Bunny's well behaved so we don't have any issues with it. Jazz is a lot bigger and he doesn't seem to like it up there as much but he's allowed.

GSD MOM · 05-11-2011, 03:34 PM

Yep both of mine are allowed up.

**gsdraven** · 05-11-2011, 03:36 PM

Yup (and the bed too!). BUT, they both get off immediately when I tell them to.

If you don't want her on them for life, then don't let her do it now.

myshepharley · 05-11-2011, 03:39 PM

Yep!! They are all allowed on couch and in bed. Harley usually sleeps on the couch at night because he will not sleep in bed if my husband is in. Don't know why. We have a Fox Terrier that needs to be under the covers, glued to your leg. Wouldn't have it any other way!!!
