Whenever anyone settles down on the sofa, Sundae eagerly attempts to leap onto it, to join in on the fun. In addition, she has developed a habit of jumping onto the TV console and barking whenever she sees any dogs on the screen. This scenario has been quite chaotic as the family is worried that the TV will fall onto her. As such, they often have to rush to her to get her off the TV console, which also means it is more likely to reinforce her behavior since jumping on the TV console gets her attention.
To address this, we focused on teaching Sundae the value of remaining calm on the floor while we are on the sofa, and creating positive associations with seeing dogs on the screen.
This training approach allows Sundae to remain calm while the family is watching tv on the sofa, creating a more peaceful environment for everyone.
