My understanding (old memory, may be incorrect) in the case of cats, if they cannot scratch and pull with their claws it is uncomfortable and/or painful. They have to shed the casing. Have often found the intact hollow casings.

Providing a post/stand unit of some type with like jute/manilla rope, they will go at quite willingly. I believe when they do the pulling they also leave scent there which promotes bringing them back to "their" place.

For the hardcores, pet stores sell strips of double sticky clear film. Virtually invisible unless you know it's there and look for it. Put it in their no-no chosen spot. Absolutely hate it. Change habit quick. Head for new rope stand:-)

This isn't directed to you specifically..

Please don't declaw animals. Their claws are NOT glorified fingernails. Essentially by declawing them you are removing the ends of their fingers - I can't think of any reason to do that. Get a sisal scratching post for your cats - they honestly prefer those over furniture.

Some dogs dig, it's just who they are and you can't stop it except with drastic behavior mods. Either socialize them better and stop chaining them to an engine block in the backyard or get an electronic fence - those work.
