[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of dog? I've always had small dogs, who don't shed, and I wash them every other week. Zero smell. Guests love to pick them up and pet them. I get a lot of comments on how good my dogs smell too, so it's not just in my head. My dogs are allowed on furniture because we think their purpose is to cuddle on the couch, but they are trained to stay off if someone doesn't want them next to them. We only kenneled dogs for bed when they were puppies. Once they were full sized, potty trained, and could be trusted not to chew, they just slept all night in a bed next to ours.

A lot of big dogs are only bathed every 6 months and they have oily hair that rubs off on carpets. Idk how people deal with the smell. I have trouble even petting their heads.[/quote]
M sized dog, mutt, we don’t know what yet, some sort of terrier. We definitely plan on routine visits to the groomers. I have mild allergies and plan on keeping the dog off of furniture, but I’m sure I’ll relent in the end ;) [/quote]

I'm a big fan of letting my dog on the couch, as I love snuggle time. That said, she's only allowed on one couch, which is a big sectional, and only allowed on the half of it I keep covered with washable drop cloths. This was not a hard thing to train at all and I promise she's not going on other couches or places she's not allowed to when I'm away. She sheds a lot and I'd be able to tell easily. [/quote]
