From day one, we have allowed Gromit to have "his" furniture. We put a sheet and a blanket on the loveseat and let that be his space. With the warmer weather, he's be inclined to sleep downstairs by himself lately (our little boy is growing up!). Unfortunately, we've noticed tiny Gromit-hairs woven into the sofa, where he knows he is not allowed. To be consistent, we've decided to ban him from all furniture.
We were struggling to find a solution since when Seth comes up with the brilliant idea to "flag" the furniture. Gromit respects these flags because they are the kind we used to train him with the underground fence. He won't get near them because he thinks he's going to get shocked. He's not happy about the situation, but I'm excited about reclaiming the furniture again.
