Ok so ii have 3 chihuahua puppies (1yr. 1 1/2. And a 3yr old) and I'm getting new leather sofas but I'm worried about them scratching it up. Based on experience which would be best to stop this? dremeling their nails or soft paws or something else. Thanks!
In my house no dogs on the sofa. If you can't keep them off cover it with a blanket.
Train them to stay off the furniture, that's the simplest solution. Otherwise if their nails are kept trimmed I don't think they will do much damage. I have leather chairs too and my dog hasn't scratched them up yet.
I have a 15 years old yellow retriever and he still eats leathers. He ate my leather boots, tones of belts, my new purse, my husband hat and wallet. I always wanted a sofa leather, but I am really afraid that when I get home I will find wholes every where, so I heard that there is a spray that you spray on leathers, shoes and whatever dogs like to eat and the smell makes then not wanting to eat it. It is non-toxic and safe to animals; just have an unpleasant smell that dogs can't stand. You can find it at a pet store. The product is order less to us, but it has a bad smell to them. If you don't want to find a surprise in home you could try it. I have no idea of the name, but I am pretty sure that the person who works at the pet store knows it.
