Thanks a lot for the answers and the warm welcome.
The fact she stayed with her parents until she was 4 months old really helped with her indoors behaviour, so teaching her that she has to ask people to give her a lift to get on furniture hasn't been hard. She still feels like jumping on our sofas while playing fetch with one of her toys, so I think I'll just stop playing fetch with her indoors to minimize the danger of her landing on her head or breaking a bone in case she ever fails to get on one of our sofas.
Apparently this habit of hers was due to her prior owners letting her watch TV with them. But they always tried to put the puppies down before they could jump off, which wasn't hard since the only reason they jumped on the sofa was to be with them.
