Chair Defender: Keep Pets Off of Your Furniture! (Beige)

We have someone in the home who is mildly allergic to dogs, and our little beagle / cocker spaniel mix's hair and dander can be problematic. Keeping her off the furniture and our regular handwashing do wonders to help with that issue. Keeping her off the furniture has been hard, as she isn't crated during the day, and she's really athletic. We tried piling different items on the furniture and also tried covering them with slippery tarps. Both of these options were a hassle to set up and move aside - who wants to live like that? Plus, she continued to either move the items off to get to the couch, or lie down on the tarp itself. These couch defenders are great. She hasn't challenged them. They expand to whatever width you need, and when we want to clear them off, we simply compress them and tuck them behind the furniture. A dog or cat who is really determined to be on the furniture may not be put off by these, but they work great for us. We have a chair defender and two couch defenders for the two loveseats we want to protect. I was considering crating her while we're gone, but now we don't need to. Everyone is happier.

Works very well, my pitbulls do not get one the couch at all when this is on. It is an eyesore but better than having dog hair and drool on the couch!

It is keeping my pups out of the chair that they’ve had access to for all their lives. They just avoid that chair now. It is light weight and easy to store when company comes over. Stays in place.

I love these. I’ve bought them for my couch and my chair to keep the cats off of the furniture. They hold up so well. Have had some of them for years. Use them daily.

Works for keeping animals off your chair. However, is bulky to get it to stay close when not in use.

Works like a charm. I was working hard everyday to pile random stuff on the couch, or tent it with a sheet, but the pesky dog kept finding a nook and cranny to jump in and sleep and get hair EVERYWHERE. When googling options the shock pads seemed mean, and then I came across this. It expands super easy and collapses super thin. I just put it between the end table and couch when not in use, or slide under the couch. When expanded, I just pop the throw pillows behind it and the ends stick down enough to anchor in between the cushions and arm of the course to keep it in place. Our 8 year old, sneaky medium/large sized pup doesn't even try to get on the couch. Works so great I have two now, for couch and chair!

Love that it matches with my new sofa. Be aware however that you need to order 2 if you have a full size sofa. I ended up ordering 5 of them in total. They only extend 19 inches so the picture of the description may look like one but it obviously has to be two 1 for the recliner and 2 for the full size sofa and the love seat. I did order 2 the first time and realized it only covered the sofa. Hopefully it will keep them off. And it would be great if the manufacturer would over one size that was longer. It’s expensive ordering 5 but hopefully it will be worth it to keep them off the sofas.

I have two large dogs, one who has chewed every coach I've ever owned. He's not terrible, but eventually, as he's sitting on it, he'll start licking the cushion and chew a hole. When I found this I was so happy and I finally bought furniture that I like. I've had them (one couch defender and 2 chair defenders) for a few months and my dogs don't even go near the furniture. The dog that chewed the furniture and will do anything to sit on something comfortable doesn't even try to push these off. I seriously tried everything before this and would have saved so much money if I had known about this.They're also very easy to put up and they're compact, so it slides away nicely when I want to sit on my furniture. Highly recommend!!
