When we first got Scooby 3 years ago we had to crate him.  We tried leaving him out multiple times.  He started sucking/chewing on the couch corners.  We bought the bitter apple spray.  He ate the couch.  It never occurred to us that he would like the taste.  And that he would associate what was sprayed with bitter apple was meant to be eaten.  I never said he was was the brightest crayon in the box.

I’m not sure how he survived the day we came home to find the couch chewed up either.

A couple months after we moved into our house we decided to try it again.  He has been fine left out for the past 9  months.  But the other day, we came home  to find a couch pillow had been sucked and chewed a little in the corner.

It’s a brand new couch, we haven’t paid it off yet…

I’m hoping what happened was that the pillow had fallen off the couch and onto the floor and he thought it was his.  The dogs have their own blankets and beds.

God help him if he touches an actual couch cushion…
