Discipline

For the first time in my life, I choose to buy an older puppy of 6 months instead of a 10 week pup. The breeder told us she was crate trained and housebroken. She has had accidents in the house but we expected that since she is in a new environment. However, she does not like her crate at all and it is plenty big enough for her. She will not sleep in it -- she cries so loud that we cannot sleep even with ear plugs. My husband allowed her to sleep in our bed and now she thinks that's "her" bed too. My actual question is this: what is a good way to discipline her when she does something, like jump up on the furniture? We have tried yelling at her and she just continues to do it -- she acts like she cannot hear us. This morning, I caught her on my living room chair -- which she has never been allowed to sit on -- and when I yelled at her to get down, she rolled over on her back expecting a belly rub! Any suggestions on discipline so she knows who the boss is? Thanks.
