I need to teach Eddie to bark on command......sigh...not going well at all...so far he stops barking when I ask him to bark...ugggggh.
I HOPE I can get that down this month.
I'm used to working with high drive dogs...he seems to not have any drive...lol...I can't find his drive....I've even looked under the couch.....
Maybe it is wintering in the Bahama's with Loki's drive.
So far my "stay off the couch because I really mean it this time" training isn't going so well.
We are one month away from a new couch, and I do not want it to get smelly and dirty. I am seriously considering one of those pads that is supposed to shock them when they get on it.
If you get one of those plastic runners with the points on the back of it and put it on your couch point side up that may keep Loki off. Worked for my friend's Shitzu.
I totally forgot about those, I would much rather try that than a shock pad.
We are also going to have to make sure all bedroom doors are shut, because being shooed off the couch only to go lay on my bed is not a viable alternative!!!

And this would be the reason my couches have blankets over them lol. I am really bad about allowing dogs on the furniture...especially my current pup who falls asleep as soon as he gets on the loveseat...a sleeping puppy is worth a dirty couch

I think this month vice will be working on giving the ball back when we fetch. Another thread will be started on how best to go about fixing this. He's not real willing to trade. Not sure what to try with Cicero.
I play with two identical balls...throw one, dog fetches and returns, throw the second ball and repeat. If the dog doesn't bring the ball back, I will take them both away and the game ends. When first teaching this, I would make sure the dog was focused on the second ball in my hand (even a quick glance), give a "drop command" and throw it...never had a problem with them dropping the one in their mouth.

Same here. Originally I'd put JD on the couch so he'd quit terrorizing my Rottie. That last all of about 3 days.
He ended up sleeping in bed with me so I could actually sleep :-)
With the addition of marker training JD has learned "front door", his indoor recall is vastly improved (and if it ever stops raining here I'll work on it outside, otherwise we'll be working on it after boarding the ark using the pairs of animals as distractions), fuss to bring him to the heel position and using hand signals for sitz, platz and stand (don't know that command in german yet).

This is totally my fault for letting them up in the first place, it never bothered me before with this sofa, but I'd like the new one to not smell like a dog for at least a while.
We use a slipcover now, mostly because I hate the plaid on our couch, but also because it can be taken off and easily washed and dried. It is one of the new two piece stretchy microfiber ones, which is way better than the old kind that would get all discombobulated every time you sat on them.

Wait, my couch didn't come with the "eau de canine" scent????
