My 6 month old Golden Retreiver puppy is very well behaved in the house, doesn’t chew and is now house trained. When he is left in the garden he destroys everything, rips up shrubs, pulls over pots and destroys the plants in them, rips my garden furniture, digs holes and eats everything and anything. He is exercised regularly, has plenty of doggie toys in the garden and even has another, older, dog to keep him company. Any ideas why he does this and what I can do to stop it?

JBABS asked:

my cat put just a few little holes in some leather furniture. Is there a spray or some kind of product that will help fix that? Thanks.

Thumbs Up asked:

She has a scratching post but somehow prefers my furniture. She is an 18 month old cat we got from the sanctuary just over 2 weeks ago.
My leather stools for my dining table has a load of holes because of the cat.
And no I will not hurt her for doing it – just what cats are like. But I don’t want shredded furniture either.

CDS08 asked:

My parents just got a brand new set of dark brown leather furniture and this morning she walked into her livingroom and saw that one of my sisters cats had tried to jump up onto the couch and left puncture holes and some scratches from her claws in the leather.

What is the best way to repair or disguise these scratches and holes in my parents leather couch?

Laura Crater asked:

I’m thinking of getting some new living room furniture soon but I have two small Chihuahuas, which have sharp little nails. Will they put holes in leather sofas or chairs? I do have their nails clipped every month, but I really want leather which would be a lot easier to keep the doggie hair under control because they could be wiped down everyday.
