  Sorry If This Doesn’t Belong On This Thread.
  
  My bunny, Kaneki is about 6 weeks old. I’ve been letting him on the couch and he’s been doing fine. But his brother, Mercury has taught him how to get onto the side tables, and he’s fallen through a few times onto the ground. (Luckily his brother hasn’t taught him how to jump off the couch like he’s learned to do) But sometimes when I say no he listens to me and sometimes I pat my hand on the couch and he comes back to me. Other times I barely push his back end to get his attention and that always works. For a short time. VERY short time. I’ve even put a barrier up, that doesn’t work. So, if anyone has any suggestions I could try, I’ll also get my boyfriend to try them on Mercury. Thanks!

  “No”, redirection/grabbing attention, and putting the bunny away are the only forms of discipline that are acceptable as far as i know of
  
  At this point all you can do is bunny proof. If they can jump onto the table and it causes them to fall through/get hurt, move the table to a place they cannot jump to
