Jumping up on people and their stuff is normal dog behavior. It is part of their ingrained desire to be close to their human pack-mates. But you don't have to allow this behavior to ruin your furniture or to get out of control.
1. If keeping your dog off one specific piece of furniture is your concern, pet supply stores sell static electricity pads and indoor containment systems that discourage your pet from occupying that spot. According to the manufacturers, the small amount of shock is aversive rather than damaging. Naturally, you should check with your vet before using such a product.
A Wireless Fence is safe, easy to set up and very effective. Just place the small, disk-shaped transmitter (about the size of a Frisbee) near the area you want to protect. Adjust the range of the Indoor Radio Fence from as little as 2 feet to up to 10 feet. Your pet then wears the same receiver that is used on our outdoor pet containment systems. (The receiver from the Instant Fence system will not work with the Indoor Dog Fence.) When your pet gets near the signal a warning beep sounds on the receiver. If he continues to approach the protected area, a mild correction is given. The PetSafe Indoor Dog Fence can be used for as many pets as you have! Each pet needs to wear a receiver collar which can be purchased separately. The PetSafe Pawz Away Dog Mat is a valuable aid in training your dogs to avoid areas you want to protect. Simply place the PetSafe Pawz Away Dog Mat in a location you would like your dogs to avoid. When he touches the PetSafe Pawz Away Dog Mat, he receives a mild static shock and will quickly learn to stay away from that area. If your dog has a habit of rolling, scratching and shedding on your rug, the PetSafe Pawz Away Dog Mat will encourage him to move elsewhere. Keep your dog off the sofa, counter or out of any area you want with the PetSafe Pawz Away Dog Mat.
2. Another item available for purchase is a vibration alarm. When the pet tries to get on the forbidden chair/couch/bed, the alarm emits a loud noise, startling your dog and letting you know what your dog is up to in the other room.
3. Don't forget that your dog needs somewhere to go hang out, and that they want to be close to you and your family. You need to give them a bed, or a pad, in a well-populated room. It can be tucked a bit out of the way, but don't expect your dog to be contented being hidden in an empty room while the rest of the family is elsewhere.
This is just a few ideas for keeping your dog off the furniture. Not all dogs are the same, and you may need to try different ideas until you find the one that's effective with your pet. For more information please see Wireless Dog Fences
