When walking and the dog starts to pull on the leash he wants to get somewhere. Stop dead and stand for a few seconds and then start walking backwards away from the direction he wants to go. When he stops pulling on the leash walk up to him, put him in a sit (heel) position and start walking, repeat as often as necessary. I call this make like a tree and reverse.

When he jumps on the couch say off, wait till he complies and treat him. When he jumps on people say off and when he complies treat him. Continue till he jumps off the couch and comes to you to get the treat, then start weaning the treats away and just give him praise. Do the same for the off when jumping up on people.
