Please do not declaw! It's not that they dislocate the first joint of their claw, but they accuately remove it alltogether. It is like an amputation of the first joint of all your fingers.
There are many ways to "teach" (train) your cat not to claw furniture. Try this: (it will look odd at first) tape blown up ballons on your couch. Kitty will pop these as he scratches them and it will scare him off. Also, get a small squirt bottle and spray him a little. Then redirect him to a scraching post. Encourage him by putting cat nip on the scraching post, and positive attention. That should work.
