Dogs allowed on furniture?

[k9krazee]

The bed poll got me wondering...Are your dogs allowed on the furniture (couch, chairs...)

All of my dogs are allowed on the furniture, it never used to be that way, when we only had Shadow she was never allowed but once we got Micki and Mini they always seemed to be on the furniture and so Shadow started. It is so embarassing when we have company because if they go to sit down they will usually have 4 dogs on top of them Its not the best thing, company is also very surprised when they eat dinner with us, if there is an extra chair at the table Mini sits at it.

Yep, they are all allowed on the furniture, it's their house too. The best part of the day is when I'm relazing on the couch with my dogs.

Nope, I live with my parents so I have to follow their rules and they don't want dogs on the furniture at all.

If it were my house I would let them, but still only with permission or only on a certain couch because I wouldn't want them coming in from outside with muddy feet and jumping right up on a nice couch!

They are allowed up, and uninvited if we aren't on it. If we're sitting watching TV or whatever, they can only come up invited. Otherwise its fair game! Charlie likes laying on pillows and watching TV during the day while his dad's at work hehe

its the dogs furniture too lol , we dont have a muddy feet problem, the dogs are not allowed past the fisrt 2 feet inside the door with wet or muddy feet, if they are just wet or slightly muddy we just wipe em off with a towel we keep near the door, if they are very muddy we pick em up and carry them to the tub. I have always found it very suprising when I go to a friends house and they dont care that the dogs caked in mud and they just let then run in the house, thats weird to me lol

I swore when my RB Corey died, no more dogs on the furniture. Yeah, right. Lacey lays on the couch, Mandy has the chair, but only uses it in the winter.

Sally, according to my dad is not allowed on the furniture unless asked. But she is on the couch and chairs ALL the time. She even has her chairs.

My current large dogs are not allowed on the furniture.
My past little dogs were.

So for me...
Large: NO
Little: YES

I try to stay away from it because it can cause dominance problems and lord knows Mandy has that. But my mom and dad always let the dogs on their bed, but that's the only furniture they're allowed on.

My parents only let Niño on the furniture in my room, but he has my bed and a chair in there.

Yes the dogs are and the cats are too. Sometimes it is challenging to find a place for me to sit down!

[BC_MoM]

Always. No dog I've ever owned has been restricted to the floor.

[vinjashira]

yes - but not on the chairs whilst we're having dinner

[k9krazee]

yes - but not on the chairs whilst we're having dinner

Oh why not?
Who can resist this face?!


Mini has actually been recently banned from sitting at the table during dinner, she was always so good and would just watch, NEVER touching anything, recently my brother Adam got up from the table to answer the phone and she ate his whole taco Mini now remains on the floor during dinner time!!
