Maybe she is not sure she's allowed on the couch, so she thinks she can only get away with it when your not there.I have considered it, but unfortunately decided against it. The size of the bed/room doesn't leave much space for a ramp or stairs. She'd also probably ignore them like she does her bed on the floor.
She does like climbing on the couch when I'm not home. I'm not sure why; she's welcome up there any time.
My GSD had a beanbag bed and a padded bed in the lounge as I didn't want him on the couch, but one night while I was watching TV he just climbed up onto the couch, turned around and sat down to watch TV beside me. I just glanced at him and said "Excuse me." He just stepped down again and when back to his own bed beside the couch, which was physically no further away from me than where he had been sitting on the couch, so who knows why some furniture hold more appeal than other furniture. But my guess is they just want to be as close as possible to us and that means being at the same height as us as well.
