     While I have not had to use this method myself, my parents claim to
     have had pretty good luck with it.

     In an attempt to reduce the amount of dog hair clinging to their
     couch(s) they would cover them up with sheets.  When you know you will
     be out of the room or out of the house for a while, set and
     strategically place a couple of "snap" type mouse traps.  Then when
     the dogs jumps on the couch the traps will snap.  The sound will
     "discipline" the dog and since the traps are under the sheet they are
     not harmed.  The traps are also covered so the dogs are never sure
     whether they are in place or not.

Hey gang-

Kane has taken to jumping up on the furniture when we leave (he never does
it when we are home). We see him up there when we come home....he usually
makes no effort to get down in a hurry....until he is dragged down and
scruffed for being a "bad dog".

Does anyone have any tricks to keeping dogs off furniture? Since he doesn't
do it when we are here and we only catch him every once in a while, we
can't really let him know not to do it, although I'm pretty sure he knows
that already....so  what I guess I mean is that we hardly ever catch him so
it's hard to enforce the "no dog on couch" rule.

Any suggestions?
