I am getting new furniture and would like to keep my dogs off of it. I know that I can make loud noises and stuff whenever I see them, but any other ideas? I don't even want the furniture to appear tempting. Thanks!
If you allowed your dogs to go on your old furniture you do have uphill battle infrront of you but if they respect you as pack leader and you ban them from the furniture they will listen until you are out of the room and than they will hop on.
They are like children they need consistency so you will have to retrain them by getting them dog rugs especially for them to replace the jumping on furniture which is a fair trade and believe me they will understand and come to terms with this in time but do not expect miracles in one day or two.

Marbles for Keeps and Other Pastimes
18.09.11
The clay marbles were not much valued. Ten of that heterogeneity might be worth one of the glass agates. We played for keeps. This came as niggardly to gambling as we got. Of course, it was ultimately a game of skill and I return myself as only able to about break even. One thing I knew was that you did not play against Teeny Freitas. He was the train yard’s best marble player. My friend, Richard L Anderson and I were matched graceful evenly and played often.
We did not play standard rules of making a ringlet and trying to knock your opponent’s marbles out of that ring. Our goal was to toss and place your agate into the small hole in the dregs. Those that did not make it on the original throw were then pushed in by one’s curled forefinger finger. The player with all his marbles in the hole first was the winner and got to keep the losers agates, if they were playing “keepsies”. A diversity of the rules had us use a “popper”, an oversized harmonious glass marble that was tossed first and then play was centered on the popper preferably of the hole in the ground.
Dogs relish in an opportunity to be close to their human companion but oftentimes we do not want them with us on the furniture. Here are a few tips and techniques for keeping dogs off furniture . Establish Dominance
Dogs who are allowed on the furniture assume they have the upper hand in the household. According to pack order, dogs who choose where they rest of sleep are at the top of the heap and the others are left to fend for themselves as submissive members. Make it clear to your dogs that being on the couch or other furniture is by invitation-only, and subject to your whim.
Letting dogs sleep in bed with you or spend excessive time on the coach can lead to dominance issues that escalate to outright disorderly conduct further down the road. It is best to start out on the right foot by not allowing your puppy or dog on the furniture in the first place but rather providing an alternative.
Provide a Place for Your Dog to Rest
Dogs enjoy the comfort of a couch or chair, and oftentimes joint pain or other ailments make it uncomfortable for them to be on the floor. Place some warm bedding or a kennel with bedding near or in the same room where the family gathers most often or where the dog was getting on the furniture. By giving your dog a nice place to rest where the family gathers you are including him in your pack but continuing to establish your dominance over him by dictating where it is appropriate for him to rest.
Reinforce Positive Behavior
If your dog is having a hard time breaking the habit of resting on the furniture, don't give up. Always reward the dog when he chooses the appropriate resting place either with praise and attention or with a treat. This helps to reinforce the positive behavior and let's the dog know when he is doing the right thing.
Create Barriers
If other attempts have failed to keep your dog off the furniture, barriers must be made to deter the behavior. Sometimes changing the surface of furniture that the dogs like to jump on can decrease the desirability of the object. Plastic rug runners with spiky plastic tips on the bottom (used to grip rugs when placed over carpeting) can be cut to size and turned upside down to detract a dog from a certain piece of furniture. Scat Mats can also be used to deter you dog from furniture. These can be purchased at most major pet retail chains and emit an electronic "shock" when jumped or stepped on. Use these sorts of devices with caution as they can cause aggressive behavior in some dogs.
