There are several steps you can take to keep your dog from chewing on furniture. First, provide plenty of alternatives to chewing on furniture, such as appropriate chew toys. You can also provide treats and rewards for not chewing on furniture. Additionally, using bitter apple spray or rubbing alcohol on the wood may help deter your dog from chewing it. If all else fails, you can try adding an extra layer of protection like mesh covers or pet gates to the areas you don't want him to chew.

There are a few things you can do to discourage your dog from chewing on furniture. You can try providing alternative chew toys that better serve your pup's chewing needs. You may also spray fabric-softener on the furniture to make it less enticing. Furthermore, trimming the fur around the corners of the furniture with nail clippers might help discourage further destructive chewing. Finally, you could also use bitter apple spray or dog deterrent sprays to make your furniture less desirable to chew on in the future.

Additionally, it's important to ensure that your dog is getting enough exercise and mental stimulation—dogs are known for being creatures of habit and distractions may keep them from obsessing over certain objects, such as furniture!
