Yes I had let my previous 2 dogs on my sofa and also let my current one on there.
I have a leather couch and sometimes I will put twin sized fitted sheets over sections of the cushions and then change those out periodically.
I used to have a standard fabric couch and it was a gross nightmare with pets. I highly recommend getting a leather sofa if you don’t already have one if you’re gonna go down this path. I know that’s prob not possible for many but that was a HUGE game changer for me and I will never go back to a fabric couch as a pet owner.
