All of the dogs (and cats for that matter) are allowed on any furniture they choose.... the cats prefer the backs of the couches so we keep them covered with blankets so the hair is easier to wash away... none of the dogs shed so its not a problem....
you can attempt to move the dogs if you want to sit on the couch, but if you want to be comfortable its probably better to sit on the floor.
If people dont like the dogs on the furniture they are not required to visit... we knew someone awhile back who did not like that we had 2 cats and 1 dog... so they no longer visit, their loss not mine... glad they didnt stick around now with 3 cats and 3 dogs they would be horrified:yikes:
All the dogs sleep in someones bed... tried the crate with all three when they first came and they cried their way out of it eventually
... plus I cant sleep without at least one four legged creature curled up next to me, it just doesnt feel right.
