Perhaps she's itching? Does she scratch a lot or shake her head frequently? It may be related to seasonal allergies, which is something you'll need to see a veterinarian for.

As for the staining, try OxyClean... it has worked pretty well for minor stains in my home.

I think your dog needs a bath - if she gets things dirty just by rubbing against them then she is a dirty dog.

A bath is definately in order --- clean dog = clean couch.

If she is continually scratching she may have allergies. Some dog breeds are prone to allergies, like bichons. In this case you could find out from your vet how much Benedryl or Hydroxyzine to give your dog and she will stop itching. Many times when they itch and bite at certain itchy spots their fur will discolor to a brownish/redish color.

Keep the dog groomed so she isn't brown.she is probably scratching. Clean the couch and lay a blanket over it. Resolve has always worked for me.
