The key to keeping your dog from chewing on furniture is having the right combination of deterrents and positive reinforcement. 

For deterrents, spray bitter herbs or citrus spray on the furniture to make it unappealing. This should be enough to discourage your pup without causing physical harm. Make sure to regularly inspect any furniture where you dog likes to chew as items may become worn over time. For particularly stubborn chewers, there are devices you can purchase like baby gates and puppy pads that can physically block off access while offering a safer alternative place for him/her to play. Another thing you can do is revoke all privileges when they have been naughty such as not allowing them onto the couch for awhile. 

For positive reinforcement, provide your pup with acceptable outlets for their energy and attention such as interactive games with treats, or regular exercise like going on walks with you outside of their typical routine activities indoors. Regularly indulging in treats and praise will encourage them less toward destructive behaviors when left alone. Setting up mental “chewie” puzzles where they must manipulate small objects into shapes instead are also good outlets if provided frequently enough until old habits are fully reformed!

There are several things you can do to discourage your dog from chewing on furniture. Make sure their bed is up off the ground and away from other furniture that could be chewed. You can also give them a variety of safe and chewable toys, such as stuffing-free rubber toys or Nylabones, which will occupy their time and curiosity. It may also help if you rotate the furniture they're allowed to chew on - allowing them access to a new piece every few days - in order to prevent boredom. You should also limit their access to areas where furniture can be accessed, put locks on cupboards that contain items they're not supposed to chew, or use baby gates at doors and windows that could allow them access outdoors, helping prevent destructive behavior like running away with dropped items or barking. Training is always an option: try teaching your pup what "no" means when it comes specific objects they shouldn't touch; pair negative reinforcement (negative tone + withdrawal of food for a certain amount of time) when they attempt these behaviors for maximum results.
