With pets, establishing boundaries from an early age is absolutely essential. If you consider a behavior unacceptable, it must be established as such. What constitutes unacceptable behavior, however, varies from family to family. While almost everyone can agree that biting is never allowed, some families are more lenient about chewing personal possessions or letting the dog onto the furniture. This issue of letting a dog on human furniture is a particularly divisive issue.

Some people, after all, are particularly concerned with keeping the house clean. And if that’s the case, you need to teach your dog from the very beginning that getting on the couches or the bed is simply not allowed. These kinds of boundaries should only be imposed, however, if there is an equally comfortable place for the dog to rest. Dogs don’t get on the furniture because they are bad or like to misbehave. They climb on furniture because it’s comfortable! As such, look into any number of dog couches for your pet. These comfortable couches make it much more likely that your dog will heed your commands to stay off your furniture, especially since they will have it all to themselves.
