This is my own fault.
Our rescue Staffie had very clearly lived in a house before and according to him this most definately involved lounging around on the sofa. (And being allowed under the covers in bed too - but that is another story) Our pathetic attempts at discipline resulted in him being allowed on the main sofa on his blanket when we are in attendance but being allowed on the tatty soon to be discarded but very comfy sofa in the playroom whenever he wants. The time has now come to retrieve the playroom for grown up use which will involve buying a new sofa, so poor old Porridge will have to vacate.
I am putting the doors back on the room, which were removed years ago to allow for huge Brio layouts.
I will be putting him a folded duvet under my desk, which is his second favourite lounging place but he will have to have somewhere else to park himself when he is not in his own bed in the kitchen. I want to buy him a really lovely, comfy dog bed that will tempt him to be compliant - He is not that big - so there must be something out there that would suit him (short of buying him his own sofa!) Has anyone attempted this exercise and suceeded? What sort of bed did you get?
