He sounds bored and is making up things to do, you might leave him with something to do like a stuffed Kong, increase exercise when you're home, and/or crate him when you are not home. The recliner cover could also smell like you and he could possibly be having a bit of separation anxiety so focuses on that.

But I think i would do a bit better job of letting your dog know that you are boss and not lethim win all the time. You can do this without being mean or hitting the dog. Right now it sounds like he is in control of you. Maybe I got the idea wrong, so ask the question again if I was way off
