Firstly, thanks t everybody who responded to my earlier thread. Im using a stuffed kong at dinnertime and its working. 
now for a new one: My 4 month old puppy bessie has started to jump on the sofa and the more we tell her 'off' and 'no' the more she doesnt listen. she knows she is not allowed to do this because she actually waits with her two forepaws on the sofa to see f anyone is watching and then proceeds to jump up on the sofa even after being told 'no' to! (she responds to 'no' and off n sit comands during training)
to add insult to injury, sometimes she jumps down at the 'no'..accepts the praise and the treat and then jumps right back at the sofa. and keeps repeating on/off behaviour. i have tried clapping my hands, making a noise, but nothing gets her off it apart from hauling her down physically, after which she jumps right back. (yesterday she peed on the sofa)
any advice?
