Off

Command: “Off”

Training Steps:

1. Introduce the Command: When your dog jumps on you or furniture, say “Off” in a firm tone.
2. Encourage Down Movement: Gently guide your dog off the person or furniture. You can use a treat to lure them down if necessary.
3. Reward Proper Behavior: Once your dog is on the floor, immediately give them a treat and praise them.
4. Consistency is Key: Repeat this process consistently whenever your dog jumps up, to reinforce that “Off” means they need to have all paws on the floor.

Explanation: “Off” is a command used to teach dogs to keep their paws off people and furniture. It helps in managing your dog’s manners and respecting boundaries within the home or in public.

Use Case: This command is particularly useful when guests visit or when you’re in public spaces where jumping might be inappropriate or unsafe.
