‘Off’ command is used when the dog jumps up on you or it’s on a chair or the couch or on a person. Make sure that you always use the ‘off’ command every time your dog goes on furniture and so does everyone else in the house. Don’t forget to follow through. If you say off’, make sure you get the dog off the furniture. Don’t plan on landing your puppy on furniture periodically during the first 6 months of his life. When you give the ‘off’ command, remove the dog gently. Don’t violently kick the dog or hurt your dog or take any forceful action as it will only make him anxious and aggressive and spoil the relationship with your dog. Don’t throw away or do any violent gestures. If the dog jumps up to somebody, put your knees on to the dog so that he naturally falls to the ground.
