Finally. It came! My salvation! Bear's saving grace. (At least with this issue...)
First though, The Old Way of keeping the mutt off the couch.
We gather everything we can to fill the couch. Baskets. Magazine holder, tripod, video camera, weird little chest thing that Caleb brought into our marriage and we still have for some odd reason, my didgeridoo, remote, magazine, the handle to my Swiffer sweeper. I'm sure there's more in there, you just can't see it. We had to put this on every morning before we left for work, and any time we left the house afterward. It got to where I didn't want to take it all off, so I'd hole up in the bedroom. Clearly, something had to be done.
Behold.
The New Way. The Sofa Scram. "At the touch of a paw" it emits a loud noise, which sounds exactly like your smoke detector when the battery is low. I only wish I could have set up our video camera when we left that first day, we'd be a shoo-in for AFV. (Which just so happens to be our favorite evening past time, what better way to relax and unwind than groin shots and people falling down?)
I love technology.








So it really works?! I think the video camera thing is a must. For entertainment value if nothing else.

I think the SCRAM mat is a great idea! Good thing you don't have to be there to hear the screech. We have a hand-held screecher that we can use to discourage bad behavior and it bothers US more than the dog. That was 70 bucks down the drain!
You didn't ask, but I'd like to see the area rug pulled out from under the couches ;) Way cool rug.

That is just genius.
