At 2 a.m., after being growled at for trying to sit on your own couch, you wonder if you will ever relax in your living room again. The Dog That Guards the Sofa is a compassionate, evidence-informed guide for dog owners whose pets guard furniture. Without diagnosis, punishment, or false promises, it explains why dogs guard resting places, how to read their signals, and how to teach an alternative behavior using force-free methods. You will learn to reclaim shared space step by step, while respecting your dog's emotional needs and your own safety. The book also makes clear when to seek veterinary and professional behavioural help, especially when growling, biting, or children are involved. This is not about dominance or confrontation; it is about building a peaceful home where both you and your dog can relax.
