I would try this spray, it isa natural repellent from chewing or licking http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=1098 Safe, effective way to stop destructive chewing, licking, and gnawing behavior. Spray Fooey on any surface to protect. Gentle enough to use on plants, furniture, wood, and leather. Also spray on pet bandages to keep dogs from licking and chewing on them. Alcohol-free. 8 oz. Over time this will help keep Abaza from the couch due to association with the taste and smell.
