Here is the story. Me and my fiance received some used furniture from the lady that I clean house for. It is very good condition, and I would like it to stay that way. Here is the thing. I had no problem keeping Jetta off my old furniture. But with this new stuff, it’s like she is sneaking around just waiting for me to leave the room so she can jump on it. I can’t really blame her the furniture is very comfortable. But she has her own bed in the same room. I have done the same thing that I did with the old furniture. Shake the penny filled pop bottle, when she tries to get up on it. Praise her when she is down and being good. But she just waits until I can’t see her, then it’s up on the couch. She was doing so well before, I just don’t want to have to go back to keeping her with me at all times. I mean, I do watch her but she is so much more relaxed, when she can just come and go. And play in any room. Have the run of the hallway and stuff. Help!

Well there are a few things you could try..
How bold is she? For instance with Kuma if there are things laying on the couch she wouldn't bother. Just laying newspaper acrossed the cushions worked with her. With Peeka she would just lay right on top of everything.
We took to using mousetraps under the newspaper. If that doesn't work I'd probably do some avoidence training with an e-collar. Stimulate her when she thinks you aren't aware she is getting up. Typically in avoidence training you should only have to catch her a couple times and that would be the end of it.
Otherwise I'd keep her out of the rooms with gates or crating when you can't watch her and keep her on a leash when you can.

Of I just know the mouse traps would work. She hates loud noises. Once she knocked over the vacuum cleaner. Now she gives it wide berth.
