Dogs on the sofa

Do you let your dogs on the sofa?

I used to but I'm getting fed up of hoovering off the hair everyday.

Ha the no sofa rule lasted about a day!

I have a faux leather sofa so can just wipe the hair off. Changing from a material one was the best thing I did!

JKScot4 · 06/02/2020 15:23

Yes all 3 are allowed, I have a stack of cheap Ikea throws and sofa has washable covers too, it’s their home too 🐶🐶🐶

Not our main couch though...

No dogs on the floor, the cat is allowed on the sofa.

Cinderemma · 06/02/2020 15:25

I keep telling the kids no dogs on the sofa but they just keep letting them on and tbh the dogs don't know if they're coming or going, whether they're allowed on or not!!

Nope, my spaniel has never been allowed on the sofa (or upstairs).

BiteyShark · 06/02/2020 15:29

Yes mine is allowed on all the sofas. Can't beat a cuddle from the dog whilst watching tv 😍

ArcherDog · 06/02/2020 15:32

Nope, no dogs on these sofas...
Lots of throws are your friend! Plus a wipeable sofa.

allfurcoatnoknickers · 06/02/2020 15:33

Yes, but we have throw blankets on them that we change regularly, and only one of the dogs sheds.

Cinderemma · 06/02/2020 15:34

I'm thinking my next sofa will be a wipeable one! Their hair gets everywhere!

Can't keep her off the sofa! We have an old bedsheet and duvet we keep on it though and those get washed regularly. Also a fan of doggy cuddles in the evening while watching tv.

Of course they go on the sofa, can’t be doing with people with so many rules and regs for dogs Confused. Get a stuffed toy

Babdoc · 06/02/2020 16:27

Thankfully I don’t have a dog, just an immaculately self-grooming cat.
I think the potential skid marks would bother me more than moulted hair tbh...!

Chuffingchuff · 06/02/2020 16:42

No my dog is very long haired and my husband is asthmatic so he couldnt stand it. For the same reason he also isnt allowed upstairs.

TheFaerieQueene · 06/02/2020 16:50

Nope. Not allowed on the sofa. 🤣

No way.

BarkandCheese · 06/02/2020 16:58

Mine has a special set of little doggie step to help her get on and off the sofa 😄. She’s a low shedding breed though so no hoovering needed. (Obligatory dog on sofa photo included, even though you can’t actually tell it’s the sofa).

Yes. It’s his home too

LolaSmiles · 06/02/2020 17:04

We have throws on the sofa for the dogs. They're allowed on their blankets and not if there's no blanket. It works well and if there's no blanket and they want to get up, they sit and give a little bark.

JKScot4 · 06/02/2020 17:04

A dogs world is small, it’s got their humans in it, your home and wherever you may take them, why make it even smaller by restricting where they go? It’s a sofa, cleanable and replaceable, why is upstairs so precious?
I think some folk get a dog as an accessory not a family member.

Sausagewrole · 06/02/2020 17:06

Yes, dog has his corner on the sofa. And his spot in the bed, and under the duvet!

PrayingandHoping · 06/02/2020 17:07

Yes but only if their blanket is in position for them to lay on. They do not lay directly on the sofa

JKScot4 · 06/02/2020 17:07

One of them sofa with cuddly shark 🥰
