Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. I would recommend using deterrents such as bitter apple spray and spray it directly on your couch or use a spray bottle filled with water and every time you catch her chewing, spritz her in the face and say "off!". Loud noises such as a can filled with coins or an air horn can also help deter her from chewing. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
