I let mine go where they want... Older dog can't get on the bed anymore-but she can still get on the couch, I have it covered and wash it often to remove dog hair. My little Shih tzu doesn't shed much-so I don't mind where she lays. Good luck.
Hi, Have enjoyed all your posts and pictures. I have 2 dogs, Amber Lab mix that is 14 and Peppie, Shih Tzu 4 years old. How do I upload pictures, says they are all to large. CB
