My dog whines/cries when being told to get off my bed?

Stop letting the dog up on any of the furniture if it's causing problems. Especially one that's reacting aggressively when you try and move it. I would promptly drag it off if it growled at me, but that's just me

It sounds like your dog is trying to assert his dominance over you by "claiming" that spot on the couch/bed as his. The whining/crying is probably just an instinctual way of him trying to make you back off. It's the same thing puppies do when they're hurt, or simply frightened. Unless you think you might be hurting him, I would pay it little mind. I would suggest being firm about not allowing him on the couch or bed, at all. If you do decide to continue to allow him on the furniture I would make sure it is only when you say so. He should sit and wait to be invited up. This will probably take a bit of patience from you. Remember to stay calm and not lose your temper with him as that isn't behavior dominant dogs usually respond to or respect. Doing things to help assert your dominance in other areas of your relationship with him will help. Simple things such as making him sit and wait while you set his food down is one thing. Taking him for controlled walks where he walks beside you is another. Work with him every day on obedience. If you are both going somewhere, he should wait for you to go through doorways, and out doors before going himself. Have training sessions with him that involve commands he may already know, new tricks, and perhaps incorporate lessons on getting on and off the furniture on demand.

I know puppy eyes is adorable, but you need to learn to say no. My parents gave up an my dog sleeps on their bed EVERY night, they're too soft on her, my mum will move out of her way to make sure the dog's comfortable haha. But if you don't show the dog that you are the 'top of the pack' especially when it is growling at you, you will DEFINITELY have trouble with it in the long run, you may need to start locking it downstairs in a pen area, not it's cage it needs room, but a small pen, but I suppose I have a norfolk terrier so it may be abit easier.

Well this is easy teach him to jump up and then lure him down with a treat and reward with treat when he gets down. do this over and over without getting into a fight. heck teach him to go up and down on other things chairs, tables, benches etc... If he gets rewarded a couple hundred times for getting down and never for getting up then the down will be more rewarding. Also if you stop fighting with your dog your dogs feeling will change and things will improve.

Show your alphamale & who's boss. Don't let your dog be in control of you & if he snaps at you use a newspaper & that'll teach him NOT to or just shut your door at all times

Put cheap aluminum foil on your bed. Dogs don't like the sound or feel of aluminum.

Show him/her who is alphamale. Get him/her a doggy bed?
