If a dog was allowed on furniture as a puppy, the harder it will be to stop this behavior. The dog will have to be leashed inside the home until any attempts to climb up have been removed. As the dog approaches a chair, bed or other furniture, gently tug on the leash BEFORE the dog reaches its destination and say a firm "no". If it knows "no" to other things, it should not take too long before the dog makes the association.
