Can you teach an old dog new tricks? Not sure, but we are trying to convince Hudson the wonder dog that the couch is now off-limits to doggies. This is an attempt at overcoming a lifelong privilege that she's been entitled to for five years now (or 35 years using that dog years calculation). So far it's not working out so well, which doesn't surprise me too much... I think if we wanted her to stay off the couch, we should have made this the rule from the start.
