You can also take sheets of aluminum foil and pin it or drape it over
the spots they are using to scratch on the couch. They might try to
scratch the foil once, but then that's all. And, make sure that they
have their own place to scratch.

The foil also works good on cords and things that kittens and puppies
like to chew.

Kent, WA -- with the world's most stubborn Dalmatian who learned to
jump up on the counters NEXT to the mousetraps, push them off with his
paw and then take whatever he wanted from the counter as mousetraps
only snap ONCE.....sigh.
