How To Repair Dog Licked Leather Couch

Help!!!!!!! My 6 month old rr puppy just chewed a 20 cm hole in our leather couch :D

He regularly destroys his beds (doesn't eat them just shreds them to pieces) so we bought him a canvas cover for a trampoline bed and that seems to have fixed the problem.

But tonight i was putting the kids to bed and the puppy was left alone in the family room for less than 3 minutes, and I have come back out to find the puppy happily chewing a 20 cm hole in the leather couch. He has never shown any interest in the couch before (besides jumping on it).

He has lots of toys and likes to chew plastic bottles, and there was a fresh plastic bottle only 40 cm away, but he chose the leather couch!!!! I have put eucalyptus oil around the hole he has chewed to try and deter him from making it any bigger.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to stop him from chewing things he shouldn't and any phone numbers for a good upholster!!!!!!

:D

Your fault, you never ever leave a puppy unsupervised with free run of the house.

If at any time you can not watch a puppy you need to put it in a pen or crate.

I was just so shocked as he had shown no interest in the couch before than.

Why so shocked? It's a puppy, they chew stuff. Next thing it will be your Sunglasses, Remote Control, Coffee table. Very simple solution....as per above....NEVER ever leave your puppy unsupervised with free fun of the house....it's like giving a toddler a can of paint and a brush and leaving them in the house when you go to work.

i had roused on him for jumping on the couch just before i left the room, so maybe it was a revenge attack!!LOL

That's just a joke eh, you don't believe the puppy can reason like that?

OMG of course she wasn't for real.... haha I wonder if she had also said she thought he can talk, play cards, or do all sorts of tricks to show all the know it alls out there, sometimes puppies can get into mischief and not do as they are told and not follow the books, you thought she has for real. ;) OMG of course it was a joke

ETA Maybe I shouldn't have a dog if I'm not going to cage it up or watch it every single second its out of it's cage (or crate, which ever wording makes you feel better). Come on, in reality young puppies do naughty things, you can try to prevent it, but sometimes you can't.

Huntia, I hope it can be fixed.
