Скачать или смотреть How to Teach the Off Cue in Dog Training | Stop Jumping & Build Boundaries

Does your dog jump on you, the couch, or the counter even when you say “off”?
Do you feel like they just don’t understand what you’re asking?

In this video, I show you how to properly teach the meaning and intention of the “off” cue by first training up and off in a clear, structured way using positive reinforcement.

Most dogs are not being stubborn.
They simply have never been taught what “off” actually means.

What this video covers

• Why yelling “down” or “off” often fails
• The difference between “down” and “off” in dog training
• How to teach the up cue clearly
• How to teach the off cue so your dog understands expectations
• How to apply up and off to real-life situations
• How this helps with jumping, couch boundaries, and counter surfing

By teaching both directions, your dog learns:
• Where they are allowed to be
• When they are invited up
• When they need to get off calmly

This creates clarity instead of conflict.

Real-life uses for up and off

• Jumping on people
• Couch and furniture boundaries
• Counter surfing
• Place and boundary training
• Trick training and confidence building

This method is force-free, clear, and works for puppies, adult dogs, and rescue dogs.

Training notes

• Dogs do not understand language without being taught
• Cues must be trained, not repeated
• Clear expectations reduce frustration for everyone

I teach boundary skills, impulse control, and real-life manners in my group and private dog training programs serving Glendale, Phoenix, and the West Valley.
