Keeping pets off your new furniture is not an easy task, as any one with experience in the mater will confirm. For some reason, pets love to lie on your beds, sit on your couch and even hide in your wardrobes. It would be fine if they just sat nicely and were clean, but as we know this is often not true of pets. Instead they claw at your bedding, chew up your couch and get mud all over your lovely white wardrobes. There are ways to prevent this happening though; here are 3 of the best.
Training. It is only by making sure your pets are trained well that you will ensure they keep off your expensive living room and bedroom-furniture. If you are lucky enough to be able to provide training from a young age then your pets will be more receptive to new training when they are older as well. You should instill the idea in your pets that furniture is for the use of people and not them. But at the very least they should know which places they are not allowed and to listen to your commands to get off anything they shouldn’t be on.
Pet repellents. If your lovely pets don’t listen to you and have no respect for your property whatsoever, you may need to be a little bit craftier in your approach. Available from pet stores are products that you spray or sprinkle on your furniture to repel pets. These tend to have quite citrusy smells that are pleasant to humans but are too much for animals with sensitive smell.
Discipline. This ties in with training, but even pets that have had no training at all with still respond to correct discipline. This doesn’t mean that you should hit your pets every time they jump on the chair or bedside cabinets, but instead be consistent with how you react when they do. There is nothing more confusing to an animal than being told off for something one day and allowed to do it the next without being told off.You should let them know your not happy by using short sharp noises and directing them out of the room, but make sure you praise them when they respond well to your requests.
