he's a little prik and every time i walk out the door or go to bed he jumps on the counch! now i close the door like i'm leaving and jump down and catch him! I clap my hands and raise my voice but he just turns on his belly and pees on the counch! I am thinking of getting him put down, he is very stubborn and bad for a four year old!

I've had 3 daschunds. I love them. They are very "independant".
My daschunds liked to burrow. They had a pillow with a pillowcase cover on it. All of them learned how to crawl under that pillowcase to "get under the covers". Mine all had short hair and found the floor cold. That might be part of your problem. Your little guy might be seeking a warmer place to rest.
I would suggest getting him a nice soft bed. If you home is cool, get him a little sweater. Teach him to go to his bed or "place" by using whatever word you want - such as bed- toss a treat onto the doggie place and praise him for going there. Each time he goes to his place, praise him and offer him a treat - small ones since doxies can eat waaay too much.
I use the work "off" to get my dogs off the couch or anywhere else they should not be. When they do as I ask they get a reward of praise, a pet on the head or a ball toss. Doxies are well known for their "independance" and take some patience to train, but they are wonderful companions.
The simple solution to keeping him off the bed is to shut the bedroom door. By shutting the door, you can concentrate on getting him to go to his place or bed instead of the couch.

if nothing works, try a spray with an unappealing to dogs odor. Sometimes they work. Be consistent! He gets up, GENTLY but FIRMLY put him down and say no. The own bed thing is a great idea. I am generally against crates, but my mom's jack russel fell in love with hers and it gives her her own 'space' and quiet area. Consider putting his new bed by the couch and one by the bed if he just wants to be close to you!

Try a squirt bottle with a little vinegar in it. When he gets on the furniture, squirt and yell "NO" loudly. The vinegar won't hurt, but the odor reinforces the message that it's an unpleasant experience to get on the furniture.

Yeah, ive got one too, he bites and growls alot then wags his tail if you give him a treat. I put another mattress on the bed and now its too high for him to jump, he whined alot at first but I got him his own bed and now he sleeps in that.

Foster and Smith sell a pad that sounds an alarm if touched. It runs on a small battery. Worked good for mine till the battery died...they pulled it off, and ate it....If you keep up on the battery, they work great.

Why would you want to? Let that poor little shorty on the couch for goodness sakes. What can it hurt? My couch was almost a thousand dollars at Kittles, but I would never put that before my pets happiness. I think you are mean!
