How many of you allow your dogs on the couch??

It's always been a rule in our house, that our dogs are not allowed on the couch, Killian thinks were just plain evil because our cats are, because they are tiny little things. If I had a five pound Chihuahua I probably would let it cuddle on the couch, but my pups are SO DANG BIG!! Killian is 68lbs at 6 months, and Jazzi is 72lbs at 5 years old..... <3 My big loves.....

Guilty. Rennie gets up and snuggles with me. She's so sweet I couldn't possibly tell her no! Ridley just figured how to get up on the love seat. He always brings a toy and from the way he sits you can tell he's quite proud of himself.

We should make them stop but we can't seem to bring ourselves to do it!

My GSD is only allowed on the couch if he is invited. Normally when hubby is sound asleep on the couch, I 'invite' Hondo on the couch.

 

[Stosh]

Nope, not allowed on furniture or carpet

 

[Wolfiesmom]

No Wolfie is not allowed on my furniture, except the couch in the kids playroom. It smells anyways, and my 19 year old son doesn't even notice. LOL

no pooches allowed on the couch here light colored couches and dogs don't mix haha. However I do allow Dodger on my bed, but only when he's invited, if he jumps on without permission and he gets off right when I tell him too he has to do puppy push-ups in order to earn his right to be back on my bed. If he takes his sweet time getting off he's not allowed on the bed that night.

On carpet? Does that mean certain rooms are off limits? That is kinda the way it is for us, because the upstairs is off limits, and upstairs is all carpet. <3 Downstairs is nothing but hardwood or tile.....

Guilty, Guilty, Guilty that means all three of them, plus the cats..nothing like having a bunch of animals snuggle on the couch

Same here with my pups, we have light tan couches, and were the same way about the bed, Jazmine is only allowed to share when Hubby is out of town and she needs permission! <3

My husband started it with our last dog. So yes, however we have a two couch covers so while one is in the wash the other can be on the sofa. Our dog seems to run warm, and does not like to sit next to us, too much body heat. So when we are on, she is off.

Pups are on the couch with me too (and the bed). It's the only place Kaiser actually settles in. And there's no better way to save on heating than to cuddle with 2 GSDs and a kitty.

My kitties wait till Jazmine is FULLY asleep before they dare to jump on the bed. She seems to think she runs my bed... LOL!

 

[1sttimeforgsd]

Guilty also, couches, chairs, everyone shares.

 

[Emoore]

Yup. We have black leather couches and have had Rocky, Cash, and countless foster dogs on them. They've held up fabulously. They were cheap-o Rooms To Go couches too.

The only dogs that were not allowed on the furniture were the fosters who wanted to challenge us. They had to learn that being on the couch is a privilege, not a right; and you earn that privilege by submitting to the humans' authority.

[Kris10]

Yes. But he listens if we tell him "off" ( when we have company, etc...).

 

[JKlatsky]

They are all allowed to come up, but I expect them to get off if I don't want them there. We bought our couch with the animals in mind. Brown microfiber hides all manner of dirt. But we also keep it covered with throws or blankets.

Our futon coach has a plain navy sheet over it, and our bed has a blanket over the comforter too. This way when it gets too dirty or hairy I can just throw it in the washing machine...and Voila! Clean again!

 

[paulag1955]

No, Shasta's not allowed on the furniture. But that doesn't stop her from sneaking down to the basement and jumping on the sofa. You see how she tries to hide from me so I don't make her get down.

If there's no throw on the sofa, she puts her paw over her face to hide.

 

[King&Skylar]

we let ours on the couches. We try to enforce the "only if you're invited" rule, but they're so sneaky LOL. Our boy always "asks" for permission if we're on the couch, but other than that its fair game. Skylar started a game a while ago where she'd race us to the couch and steal our spot, I stopped that quick lol. :wild:
