Ruby does puppy eyes sooo well
For the first couple of months me and my husband let her on the sofa with us. I found a little hole where her claw caught, which I didn't mention to my husband, because he spent about $800 on this sofa before we got the puppy. So, when he got deployed this week I decided it was time to stop this jumping up thing, however much I like her sleeping up here next to me. So I put a twin bedsheet over the sofa cushions to protect them for now.
She gets off straight away when I say, and I make sure she gets lots of praise and playtime whenever she asks to play without jumping up to push the toy in my face. But it's the puppy eyes when she wants a hug that get me, because to her, hugs on the floor just aren't as good
Anyways, it is when she runs and jumps so her claws scrape against the sofa and catch on the cushion stitching that I want to stop. When she just jumps up to lie down it is fine. But I guess I need to stop all of it first, then show her what is acceptable jumping.
I know as soon as my husband gets back she will be up here all the time again
So I need to sort it out before then. And fix the hole already in the sofa >.<
Any ideas to make this easier?
Thanks
