Good point. Now I know what I need to concentrate on.

Glad to be of help...try not to "punish" him by putting him outside when he is bad...you don't want to equate "outside"="bad"...because you don't want him messing in the house either...

Shoo or pull him off the couch....saying "NO" in a deep and stern voice..then lead him to the rug or a BIG pillow and teach him to "SIT" "SIT"...then when he does it a few times...as he is told...you reward him with a doggie snack...and a pat on the head..and tell him "Good Shadow..good boy".
