My dog really doesn't like the taste of really peppery foods, and I think it doesn't like the smell either. I know this seems kind of gross but after a while the dog will avoid the smell and stop going on the furniture and then you can stop putting pepper on it. Sprinkle the couch with pepper.

Until he has been retrained, you cannot trust him to stay off the furniture in your absence. Take him to obedience classes or hire a trainer to teach the dog 'off', 'down' and 'stay'. Be consistant in telling him off. Keep a leash on him when you are home and if he attempts to get on the furniture, gently guide him off of it and praise him.

It's your house you make the rules. You have to show you are the boss and what is not acceptable. Keep the dog outside! It’s your house you make the rules.

Instead of putting it in a cage when you're not around let it outside where it can play in the yard. Locking one up is so sad....they're not meant to be caged. No matter what they call it a crate IS a cage. I totally agree with chloe. Instead of putting it in a cage when you’re not around let it outside where it can play in the yard.

They will go off when he gets on the couch and startle him but shouldn't hurt him if they are under the paper. Squirt bottle full of water when you are home. Spray him every time he jumps up. If that doesn't work keep dragging him off the couch and praising him for being off the couch. If he's a smart dog....you can teach him new tricks.
