It is enough to let the dog jump on the sofa or bed once - and the pet will immediately get used to the comfortable furniture.
The four-legged friend prefers to sleep on a soft surface and gets very angry when the owner tries to kick the animal out of its comfortable place.
It is difficult for a person to come to terms with the fact that a dog is lying nearby: the bed becomes untidy, and it becomes more difficult to rest comfortably.
And the animal also becomes less obedient. After all, it believes that it is “on the same level” with its owner.
It is clear that the dog should not have been allowed into the bed in the first place. But what to do if the pet owner has already made a mistake?
Fortunately, it is entirely possible to wean your four-legged friend off upholstered furniture without punishment.
Make your dog's "own bed"
Is your dog used to soft and comfortable furniture? Then build a comfortable and convenient corner for your pet!
Use old pillows and blankets for this. You can buy a bed or a house.
The main thing is that the dog is no less comfortable than on your sofa.
Teach your dog new commands
As soon as your pet climbs onto the bed, immediately say: “Get down!”
If the animal has followed the command, be sure to give it a treat.
There is no point in punishing a dog for ignoring a command. Sooner or later it will learn. The main thing is to act with affection.
