Well we got our new couches, and Chewy tried jumping up along the top and I just said no... get down... he tried a few times, and I repeted no... get down. After about three tries, he stopped.... Sadie has not tired to get up there and she is the one who LOVES sleeping up there.... I am thinking I might put a dog bed on our end table where they could look out the window. We have a pocket door so we can close off the living room. I turn the heat down in here and close the door during the day when we are out or go to bed. The only time the dogs are in this room is when we are in here so there is a lot of control. Now, my bed... that's another story. They think it's their bed and they allow US to sleep with THEM!!!! LOL....
