I really don't want to spray anything like Bitter Apple on the sofa.....any suggestion on to getting the dog to just stop it?

Hmm... I don't really have any suggestions, but when Peanut digs in the sofa it's because he dropped a treat or a chew bone between the cushions and can't get it out himself.

Maybe you could give Harley a chew toy when he's on the couch to keep him occupied?

Brinkley does this when he is trying to "bury" a greenie, pig ear, or treat bone.
When he starts this, I get a blanket down and put it on the floor and put him down there. Then he buries it in the blanket.

Kallie is a big digger.... just about every night she digs at the bed. Unfortunately she has dug on my leather chair and there are all sorts of nail marks on it.
Catcher is not much of a digger at all.

When Kallie is doing it I just tell her to stop and give her a bone or something and she'll usually comply.

Brinkley occcasionally digs to China on the bed at night...I didn't think about that one..we usually stop that by covering our faces and we play peek-a-boo.
