Our Jessie won't jump up on the furniture, not through us teaching him though, somehow he has just learn that he waits to be invited,
even then we have to lift him up. He'll sit at the base of the couch with one paw up and looks at whoever is sitting there to pick him up.
He's 7 months old and a big 11kg boy, he can almost hurdle the couch if he wanted to, but just chooses not to. Which is actually handy when you have
company over. He will, on the other hand, try to see what's were having for dinner by standing on his hind legs and looking across the dining table.
Just been using the 'down' command, and not being able to reward him with a treat when he hops down is hard, but we figured that if he is rewarded,
he'll keep being a sticky nose, as he he might believe that he is being rewarded from our plates. I think I may have just confused myself then.
Jessie doesn't fit on my lap, no where near it. Laying down, he's now longer than our doorways
