  I have two bunnies ones 7 months and the other is 6 months. They are both fixed and get a along great with each other. They use their potty but have an issue of going on a couch they have in their room. They use their litter box in their home but when they have play time they always use the bathroom on the couch. I have set up an additional litter box there and in other places where they have had issue. I need help in getting them off the couch or but just getting them to stop going potty on it would also be great. The couch has a plastic sheet under a sheet so the pee doesn’t get soaked in the couch.
  
  Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

  First I would make sure there is no urine sent, clean with vinegar and water.
  
  Then there was this tip I seen in the litterbox training thing on this site:
  
  The Cloth Trick to help minimize TERRITORIAL marking: A member posted about this in the forum, and I have also seen this on the show “Barking Mad”. Rub a cloth all over your bunny, then rub the cloth on the area he likes to mark. The idea is that s/he will no longer feel the need to spread his scent around if it’s already there. The few people that have tried this have said it works. Note: Territorial marking is very difficult to eliminate completely if your bunny is not spayed/neutered.

  My rabbit used to do that on my bed when he was young… I started bringing his litter box up with him when he was up there, and that helped a bit… but beds/couches are the most tempting places to be territorial of because they carry your bed so strongly… Spaying/neutering definitely helps with this. Also, my guy stopped eventually once he realized he indeed “owned” my bed He gave up on trying to claim it as his, and the pooping fiasco stopped.
