Re: Big dogs on my city sofa
I'm a big dog lover myself, and we have always had one in the home for the past 40 years. Having said that, if you want your leather furniture to look nice, train them to stay off the sofa - it's quite easy to do and they learn in a couple of days. That's what I have done with almost all my dogs over the years (the one we have now is allowed on, but's she's only 15 lb and just sleeps on a corner). The furniture is not designed for having pets on it, so once you elect to allow them on it then yes, its going to accelerate the wear and tear. Atticus is a South American Pull-up, so its going to show scratches and probably some oil stains from the dog's coats. Increase your cleaning and conditioning regimen to get those oils off, probably every 2 months. Nail scratches you just have to live with for the most part. Good luck.
