oakley is allowed on the couch only when his blanket is put down for him, he sits and stares at you untill you unroll it and put it in position, can,t get on the bed untill the dog sheet is on. no dog sheet no bed, so he retires to his dog bed on the floor

6 month old black lab- we vowed she we never be on the furniture. Wife relented- dog is now allowed on one spot ( blanket) on one couch- no other furniture allowed. To be continued.

Twenty-pound Maine Coon cat who I found in the woods in terrible shape last year. He has adjusted well to the being inside. I would have allowed him on the couch or bed....no counters or tables tho. This kitty must have been raised well before he got lost or dumped in the woods. He doesn't get up on the couch and will only sleep on a small towel on the bed occasionally. He has his own furniture ...he has a cat tree in the bedroom that he sleeps on all night and an ottomon with a bathmat on it which he sleeps on in the living room. It's a good thing he didn't choose my furniture because he leaves fur all over his tree and bathmat.

Now if someone could just teach him not to lay in the middle of the floor in my small kitchen that would be awesome.

Standard poodle, doesn't shed is allowed on the couch in the den....he pretty much thinks it is his.

No fur, but it smells bad and he tracks in a lot of dirt. It probably needs to go it smells like dog.

Doesn't really try to get on anything else.....as far as we know ha ha....

My father was a neat freak. We had two dogs, both miniature poodles only because that breed sheds very little. Unfortunately he has rubbed off on me because pet hair drives me crazy. My last girlfriend had 2 dogs and 2 cats which taught me what shedding was all about. My current girlfriend is slowly trying to wear me down about getting a cat but I look at pets the same way as kids. Other people's pets/kids are awesome. My own, not so much.

my golden retriever does whatever he wants. somtimes my roommates try to say no, but he knows the exact face to give to get exactly what he wants. sooo basically he does whatever he wants. Not to mention he is the best cuddlemuffin I have ever met!
