You absolutely must stop the couch jumping for the sake of his well being. What I did was put pillows and folded blankets on the love seat and sofa, too high for my dog to jump up on, thus, eliminating the jumping.


When I needed to use the sofa for TV watching I only cleared a spot for me to sit, when he wanted up or down, I picked him up and put him down. (he was recovering from a back injury).


No, my living room wasn't attractive, but my dogs injury was a priory.


If you're not going to have surgery you will have to adjust your life style for the sake of your pup.



I bought a blow up mattress and slept on the floor in one of my spare bedrooms because my pup needs to sleep with his momma, I kept my bed room door closed at all times so he had no access to the bed. Mine was a 3 month recovery period, I did what I had to do for the sake of my pup.



If it was a life time of no jumping on sofa and bed, that's how I would have lived.



I hope this helps.
