Crate her or shut your bedroom door.

ya , my b/fs been telling me to shut the door , but I get in a rush and forget sometimes... I guess I'll have to make sure the door to the bedroom is closed.

I'm afraid she is gonna try the couch next , so I guess I would have to crate her then.. I really didn't want to have to do that. We have a dog door to the backyard so she can come and go as she pleases, I really don't want to crate her but , I guess thats better than her getting in trouble.

(this may sound bad but , I actually thought of sprinkling a bit of pepper on the bed , next time I go out, but I'm afraid that might make her ill..)

They make a product called scat mats that you can place on your couch, bed, etc. which would probably be more effective than pepper (not to mention, unless you want to inhale pepper nightly, you'd have to change your sheets daily). If you don't want the dog on furniture, etc., you need to train her...simply closing the door does nothing in the area of training, you are just eliminating the source and opening the proverbial door to another.

Thanks :mrgreen: , I'm gonna look for these scat matts. She knows shes not allowed up there, she never EVER goes on there when we are around to catch her in the act, it's like she is sneaky about it , and this just started a few weeks ago. I'm gonna go look at petsmart for these scat matts.. cause I have to change the bed, after she hairs it all up anyways. Thats why I was gonna use the pepper.

I got her from the SPCA and she was a real problem dog for the about a year. After I got her trained the way I liker her (it's been 4 years now) , every couple months , she will pull somthing , like eating somthing off my table , or going in one of the garbages, wich I can handle. But this going on my bed is really pushing me, she is doing it every chance she gets when I leave , or even somtimes If I am out in the yard for the afternoon , I'll come back to hair allover my bed. She really is sneaky about it.
