We have a black lab in the house - had him since he was a puppy.  He was/is not allowed to be on the couch and other furniture but....he considers it a challenge.  If I am in my office, he will get on the couch and jumps down as soon as he hears me walking into the family room.  I don't know how to make him stay off.  He is a very smart dog and we challenge him in other ways with training.  One of my kids will be home for the holidays and has allergies.  The dog hair on everything is getting to me real quick!  He is 2 years old now.  Forget the dog bed - he looks at it and laughs!!
