A Pet Dog On A Couch

When teaching your dog new boundaries, be aware this is usually new to him whether he’s a puppy or an adult dog who’s been allowed to come and go on the couch as he pleases. You don’t want to make the couch or the training negative in any way by yelling or harshly removing him from the furniture. Any body contact (i.e. pushing him off or picking him up) causes more arousal in your dog and can ultimately turn the dog.
