Undoubtedly trying to keep your puppy off the couch is a battle. However, you can still win this if you keep patience and stay consistent with your efforts in keeping your dog away from the couch.
Here are some useful tips from an experienced animal behaviorist.
● Cover the couch in a way that it is not possible for your puppy to easily have access to the couch. You can use newspapers or certain objects to make a kind of environment where your puppy thinks he has no space on the couch to sit.
● When you are leaving the home, make sure your puppy is in the dog-proof area where there is no furniture.
● If your puppy wants a comfortable and cozy place, it might keep running toward your couch. You can make a cozy place for your puppy, especially so that he leaves the couch for you.
● Keep training your puppy with different techniques such as positive reinforcement with different rewards. Stay consistent until your puppy learns to understand your commands and stay away from your couch.
