Just look at my sig We started out, no dogs on furniture. Then it once chair only. Then it was okay for Sadie to be on the couch if she was snuggling. Then it was the living room, but not bedroom. By the time we got Cincy, it is fair game, dogs can go where ever they want, people are lucky to NOt be on the florr They aren't allowed on the furniture at Grandma's (Ralph's mom's) though, and they don't even try to get on it.
