If you think about it, it\u2019s where their favorite people (that\u2019s us) like to sit, and they want to be close to us! We spend a lot of time on the couch it&#8217;s warm and soft, and smells of us, so puppies just love it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When they\u2019re small and cuddly it\u2019s a wonderful thing to have a puppy snoozing in your arms while you\u2019re relaxing in the evening, then they get to a certain age or size and we decide that we don\u2019t want them up there anymore. That\u2019s a pretty harsh reality for a puppy to come to terms with, so they keep trying to get on the couch in the hope that this time it\u2019s ok and they\u2019ll get cuddles! Pretty sad for them really!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They want our attention<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Puppies also jump up on the couch to get our attention, which is often what they want most in the world! Even if we\u2019re cross and asking them to get down, it means they\u2019re getting some kind of interaction and it can turn into a bit of a game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They love climbing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many puppies also love to climb and gain height in general. Climbing is a natural behavior in a dog, and is great for them learning to balance. We probably want to show them that there are more appropriate places to climb and that our couches are not their playground!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They\u2019re having zoomies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some puppies jump on the couch when they\u2019re having zoomies, AKA the mad half hour, AKA wall of death! If this sounds like your puppy then you might want to look at <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-behavior\/understanding-your-puppy\/how-to-calm-a-puppy-down\/\">how to calm a puppy down<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might think that your puppy is being dominant by jumping on the couch, but we can assure you this isn\u2019t the case. Dogs just like to be up off the floor from a survival and evolutionary perspective, they\u2019re not trying to control or \u2018be above\u2019 you, that&#8217;s really old-fashioned thinking.

By creating safe zones away from the couch, we reduce the opportunity to practice jumping up on there when they feel like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3oFlJiP\">playpens<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3B9TZbn\">baby gates<\/a> to set up safe confinement zones means your puppy won\u2019t get access to your couch and practice unwanted behavior. What they practice they get good at, and sleeping on the sofa is hugely reinforcing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No more puppy on the couch?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re determined to stop your puppy from being on the couch, then you need to set clear rules, and make sure everyone in your family knows the new routine. In the short term, it is easiest if you don\u2019t allow your puppy on the couch at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It needn\u2019t mean your puppy can\u2019t go on the couch forever, what works well for many people is to give your puppy a very obvious cue that they are allowed up there or not. This is commonly a particular dog blanket as that protects our couch, and is nice and visual for the dog to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/app.adjust.com\/1lehyg83?fallback=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.zigzag.dog%2Fus%2F%3Futm_source%3Dwebsite%26utm_medium%3Din_article%26utm_campaign%3Din_article_CTA&#038;redirect_macos=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.zigzag.dog%2Fus%2F%3Futm_source%3Dwebsite%26utm_medium%3Din_article%26utm_campaign%3Din_article_CTA\">Find out what works for you with our app!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to be consistent with whichever route you take, and if your puppy jumps up without the blanket being there, you\u2019ll need to ask them to get down. It\u2019s important that everyone follows this rule or else it will confuse your puppy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Make the floor a better place to be<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From your puppy\u2019s perspective, being up on the couch with you is their favorite place to be so, of course, they want to be up there! It\u2019s worth sitting on the floor with your puppy in the evenings, playing with them on the floor, cuddling them, letting them snooze on your lap, and not just ignoring them when you\u2019re on the couch and they\u2019re on the floor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Teach a settle on a mat or bed next to the couch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a mat or bed next to your feet and giving them a stuffed chew toy, or randomly dropping a treat to reward calm settling will help them realize they can still be close to you, but they don\u2019t need to be up on the sofa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if my puppy still jumps on the couch?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Teach them a get off or get down behavior and reward them for getting off the couch, and then get them to do something else such as settling in a bed or mat so they don\u2019t learn to jump up on the couch to get treats!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Don\u2019t tell your puppy off<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If we react in a confrontational way towards our puppy, it can make them frightened and act defensively.
