i have 2 boxers that i cant keep off my furniture, thus leaving dog hair everywhere. What is the best way to remove the dog hair and also is there anything that i can apply to my furniture so the dog hair doesnt stick so bad?

My dog gets on my couch and loveseat the minute I leave or go to bed, and he is shedding so much. I tried the sprays and they don't work. I want new furniture but don't want him on it. I think whoever owned him before let him, he did it immediately when we got him. Any serious help would be appreciated. So far some good answers, but my dog does have a dog bed which he uses all day while I'M HOME!!! I ASKED what to do for times when I'm out or in bed and he does it. First answer was good, if none better, you got the points.

My Boston Terrier is 2 years old and was the runt of the litter and bottle fed. She now has a terrible habit of licking everything; car windows, furniture, your face, blankets, other dogs, you name it. It is constant and driving us crazy, even though she is very sweet. We've tried chewies and toys, nothing works. Any ideas?

im getting a new mini schnauzer, but it is so hard finding cute clothes and furniture for a reasonable price! someone help!

This dog only comes on the porch at night or during the day when no one is there. We don't want to use any kind of spray on the furniture. The dog is not tearing the cloth, but making it dirty. Everytime we go to relax on the porch, we have end of cleaning it off.

What types of furniture fabric are best when you have dogs? The fabric must be durable (resistant to claw punctures and rips) and also it must not attract dog hair or dirt. Is there anywhere in particular that specializes in this type of furniture or has slip covers of this material? (Note: I don't want leather because my dogs will probably think it's a chew toy. And of course getting furniture the same color as your dog's hair is something I'm willing to try. I enjoy having my dogs sit on the couch with me so simply training them to stay off is not an option I'm willing to consider.)

Just adopted an adut dog a week ago. His previous owners used to let him on the furniture, we put chairs on the couch and the chaise so it blocks him from going up. Any advice on keeping him off the furniture? One day I had come home and he was on the furniture with the chair that was supposed to block him from going up. Any advice would greatly be appreciated. The dog is six years old. Thanks!

Even though our 9 year old lab has 2 nice beds, she prefers the sofa when we're at work. If I don't need to spend $$$ on a scat mat, that would be great. The more cost effective solution I've found is the No-Stay Furniture Spray (for Dogs): http://www.bestfriendsdelivery.com/petorganicsnostaydog16.html For those who have tried it/use it: does it work? I saw mixed reviews online.

We recently acquired a very large dog (Great Dane) from a local shelter. He is a very nice dog and very well behaved, but at his old homes he was allowed to sleep and lay on the couches. We, on the other hand, do not approve of such a large animal taking over all our furniture. What training methods should we use to discourage him?
