I second (or third!) the baby gate idea. Worked wonders for our dobie. It quickly got to the point where you didn't even have to actually fasten the gate into the doorway...just lean it against it and she wouldn't go near it. (Of course, if the cats are going to be jumping over it, it should probably be secured. LOL)
And make sure she has a warm, cozy alternative to lay on when its chilly. Mine is spoiled rotten and is allowed to lay on the sofas and we usually have throw blankets out...she'll ALWAYS choose lay ON the blanket if there is one out. (They get washed rather frequently!)
Something spiky mentioned earlier might help, too. Something that will give her a very clear message immediately that getting up on the bed is a BAD idea. The cats might be banished from the bed for a day or two while spiky stuff is up there, but they'll get over it. They're a lot more stubborn about those sorts of lessons than a smart dobie.
