Our couch was being ripped to shreds even though I had a scratching pole for my kitty, so I bought her favourite treats and manually put her paws against the pole then gave her a treat.

It took no more than a week for her to be using her scratching pole and I was vigilant in giving her a treat every time.

Now she's used to it, there are no more treats, and no more couch scratching!
