I think in my dog’s case genetic tests would go a great way towards explaining his behavior or lack thereof. I suspect he is genetically at least 50% potato.

That explains why you have to keep getting him out the couch.

You misunderstand, it's HIS couch and you are just lucky that he sometimes allows his pet human on it.

Or you make them move and get the sigh coupled with the look of "why are you bothering me?

Are you sure is not a very weird cat?

Now more seriously if you didn't train your dog before it was two years old it is now basically untrainable, congratulations.

I always kicked my dogs from the couch from a young age, and if they miss behaved to outside the house to the backyard they went.
