I have problems with my dogs getting on and destroying my lawn furniture. While I try to keep a decent area set up for family and friends to enjoy, I need to know how I can have a nice patio set without the fear of my dogs turning it into a mess and destroying it. What's the best way to deter them from thier destructive ways and is there a product which will prevent them from wanting to lay on and tearing up the cushions?:wall:

If dogs are out on patio without supervision, it will be a challenge to train them to stay off the furniture and cushions. Other options include covering the furniture or storing the cushions when not in use. There are pet repellents available, but there remains the question of whether or not they would be effective.

there's nothing that'll train dogs other'n training 'em,,, this takes time, patience, & understanding how dogs think,,, dogs work/obey 'cause they like the owner/handler.

4mo-old lab puppies're different, tho,,, OY VEY ! ! !:wall: but he's getting better the more i work w/him.
