Question:

My dog keeps jumping on the sofa, how do I stop it?

My dog keeps jumping on the sofa, how do I stop him? He just won't listen to me, every time he just keeps getting on the sofa, I just want him to stay on the floor. If he doesn't do it I just put him in the other room but when he enters the living room again he will just get on the sofa again.

Answer:

If telling him no doesn't help, you should get him a really comfortable dog blanket. That way he will be comfortable on there and he won't want to come on the couch.
It sounds like your dog is the boss in your household. You need to call a dog trainer - a good one too, not one that works at a pet store. Your veterinarian can refer you.
Roll up a news paper and swat it ever time it does and say a firm NO after a few times it will learn , this will not hurt the dog but the sound of the pop the news paper makes will scare it
As your dog begins to jump onto the sofa, (Put him on a leash) pull his leash in a downward movement as you say Off in a low tone and move toward him in a somewhat threatening manner (like his mother would). As your dog backs away, give him the command Sit while helping him into this position. Once he is sitting, praise him calmly. This teaches him that the way to get attention is not to jump, but to sit calmly.
