I'd try either putting items on the sofa or tinfoil. If the dog gets on the couch while you're there, calmly go over and take him by the collar and remove him - give him a command (off) and then reward him either with a treat or a good play when he gets down. Consistency will be required to get the idea into his head that this is not his place. If he argues with you, you may want to attach a leash to him so you can pull him with the leash rather than placing your hand on his collar where he may try to nip you.
