Off!!!!

[morningbell]

Why is this command so hard

The puppy understands heel after the second session on the leash, Willie learned roll over yesterday, she is a quick learner, but they both don't get "off".

What is/was the hardest thing for your pup to learn?

Really? Wow, they get that one pretty quickly, especially the gnawing, er, I mean trimming my toenails.

 

[nobody really]

my dog figured out "hot dog" almost immediately. She had very selective hearing when she was a puppy but for hte most part pretty smart.

The "Don't tear up my house" command still doesn't work on my Bichon. Thank goodness for the crate!!

What does "off" mean?

What does "off" mean?

It means down, as in don't jump up or get your paws off of the couch/bed/kitchen chair/kitchen counter.... I don't use down b/c I tell them to lay down as a command.

Definitely "stand". Evry one of my dogs has had trouble with that. We use it in competition, when a 'change position' is required (going from a 'down' to a 'sit' to standing up in place, for instance, without actually leaving that spot). It's especially hard to teach the command in motion, ie when walking at heel, you keep going, but the dog stops and stands still on command as you continue.

Never had a problem with 'off'.

It's disturbing when you're in public but I understand that you must let him finish.... for medical reason of course.

30 seconds of embarassment is ok with me if it means he will live a longer happier healthier life :shrug:
