Here's a fun exercise for all you dogs with owners who spend too much time on the couch. It works best when it's chilly outside.
Step 1: Go to back door and whine to be let out. Make it sound like you really need to pee.
Step 2: When your person gets up to let you out, act like you've changed your mind — sit down and make it look like you have no interest in going outside. The trick here is to make sure the person leaves the door open a crack, in case you change your mind again.
Step 3: Wait until they sit back down on the couch and make themselves comfortable. Then push the door open with your face and go outside. Try to make sure the door is open at least halfway.
Step 4: Wait until your person gets off the couch again to close the door because cold air is getting into the house. Sniff around and look busy until the door is closed and your person is back on the couch.
Step 5: Run up to the door and whine piteously until the person can't stand it any more and gets off the couch again to let you in.
Step 6: Wait a couple of minutes and start over at Step 1. Trust me, it never gets old!
