Has anyone had success keeping a dog off the couch

Yes, the device has worked well for our home. We own 6 Tattle Tale units and we have had success for several years. Our lab will now look at the sofa or chair and if he sees the unit on the sofa, he walks away. We have used it long enough that most of the time the unit is turned off.I you have hardwood floors as we do, heavy walking will sometimes turn the unit on until the walking stops. Other than that, we have had not problems with the units.

Yes! Put one on the couch and as soon as they jump on and the alarm sounds they jump off, after a few times all they have to do is see it sitting there that they won't go near the couch. Hope this helps

I have a poodle and it worked like a charm. She didn't like the noise and hasn't been on the couch since

Mine did not work at all. The only thing that kept the dogs off the sofa was crinkly sound of the nylon cover, stuffed with some..... Crinkly stuff. I suppose if it worked, it would work outside if kept dry, but I'd try the aluminum blanket EMT's use for shock patients first. They are very cheap, available at drug stores and can be folded up tightly or rolled up and put into a plastic bag.

I wish!!! We wrestled with ours for a bit. I think it's a two person job for sure. Had to go in through the back of the couch to do this.

I have not, but my 70# dog was thrown to the floor without one. And that did it for me!

this helped, but didn't completely solve the problem. My dog quickly figured out when the mat was there equals zap. We tried 'setting her up' and she never took the bait. She is a basset hound, but can get up there somehow and does all the time. She has now taken to licking the dishes when I don't get to them right away. We had SOME luck with the Pet Agree (it's a wireless remote that does high pitch noise) and we could be out of the room and push it. Worked for a few weeks and now she doesn't care. Good luck!

Dear Magdalena, I don;t think your dog need a muzzle. Chewing on furniture is a sign of separation anxiety (he is simply very stress when you are gone. What you need is to see a trainer who will help you with this issue. Your dog will get worse if you punish him with a muzzle. Good luck

may not. my pom keeps it on, but my yorkie always manages to get it off. it's a good product. I may try to double tape and see if that works.good luck.

No it does not. It does not stay on as a permanent cover. I only use it when I am not at home and can't keep the dogs off the furniture. When they were sat on or used 24/7 I was constantly pulling the back and arm covers back on.

This goes on top of the cushions. I have 3 dogs and they have not taken it off its suprising because they once thought they owned my couch. I put a light blanket over one of mine so all you can see is the battery pack and thats where the noise comes from this thing has done well.

I've never tried it with this kind of behavior...just barking, but I imagine it will work for your situation. I would definitely try it.

Yes. But it may prove annoying as, if the dog is in and out constantly, it would be going off each time as it is sensitive to motion. If the dog is housed and infrquentlly goes in and out of the door it would be fine, I think.

I would try taking the roof off and putting in your dog's favorite blanket, or your dog's favorite persons t-shirts. It seems like your dog likes the light so maybe a step by step with the roof part might help. I mean add half the roof and then maybe the other half the roof but let him get used to the darkness inside the house a little at a time

Hasn't been a problem, but if it was I would try a treat or a toy tossed into the space. How old is the Dog? Ours is a 5 month old puppy. Hope this helps. We also purchased the pad for the bottom it is thick and comfortably fits under tha front edge she has never even tried to pull it out.

You can't shut it off. The closer you get to the unit the more it barks. Otherwise get a real Dog.

I know I'm jumping in here late, but to keep your cat off your kitchen counters you might want to try the "Scat Mat". Our cat stopped jumping on the counter after 5 attempts over two days. She hasn't gone near any counter since! It also works to keep the animals (dogs and cats) off furniture. And it worked well as a room boundary until they learned to jump over it. So we put two mats side by side, and that did the trick. There are several models/sizes. <http://www.amazon.com/SONIC-SCAT-DETERRENT-REPELLENT-DOGS/dp/B004GQGN50/ref=sr_1_cc_7?s=aps&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1426301520&sr;=1-7-catcorr&keywords;=scat+mat> I know I'm jumping in here late, but to keep your cat off your kitchen counters you might want to try the "Scat Mat".

Yes I do... the good thing I found is that you it turns off automatically when the dog is not moving at all.I tried not to fit it thight to the dog, but not to loose as well.
