(I think she'd been up there trying to get the ziploc bag of bows, and heard me coming down stairs, and anticipated the clapping hands and "GET DOWN!", got scared and pooped on the way down.)

So we put a scat mat on the coffee table, and I kid you not, after getting on it ONCE, she never got up there again!

THe only thing is this: These dogs are very smart. I suggest you cover the mat with a blanket on the couch or a thin sheet and change them up so it looks different each time. Never let them see the actual mat because when they do, they recognize it and know it is the mat that zaps them and not just being on the couch. Then when they don't see the mat, they'll jump on the couch.

a scccaaardy poop...that is too funny! ok i am ordering one!
