The Irony and Mathematics of Dogs and Sofas
"Some people don't mind their dogs laying on their couches or sofas while there are others who cannot handle it and must keep the dog off the sofa. If you are the type that does not want your dogs on your sofas all the time, the solution is to simply not let them. Usually when puppies invade the couches, it's our own fault for allowing it in the first place. Did you take the puppy into your bed when he was little? Or sat with him on the couch while watching TV? We dog owners always melt when we see our little puppies struggle to get up on the couches and we feel forced to help him up. So now, who is to blame for the dog getting up on the couch, him or us? Don't wait until your puppy has grown into a big dog to only then try to teach him to get off of the couches. If your dog has already acquired the habit you can help him to stop by saying "no, no, no" the minute he jumps on. At the same time gently grab ahold of his two from legs and very gently have him slide off of the bed or couch. Once the dog is on the floor, tell him "Sit, sit!" and then proceed to praise him for a job well done. Don't give him a treat or candy though; the dog needs to learn to obey his owner out of love and respect. "
...... that's the case with Peanut.... she was too spoilt from the very begining.... our fault .....
