Did you know many dog owners inadvertently train the opposite of what they want their dog to do?It all comes down to timing.An example of this is the ‘Off,’ for ‘Off the furniture.’Be aware of how you give the command for off the furniture. To teach ‘Off,’ off must be said extremely quickly, the second your dogs feet are all off the object or all on the ground (a very small window of time). Whilst it is important not to wait with this command it is also important not to say it too early otherwise, the word “Off” is associated by your dog with being ON the furniture.This principle applies with commands like “Quiet” too. Where your dog should actually be being quiet, at the time the word “Quiet” is said, Selina McIntyre, Behavioural Consultant & Dog Trainer, Dogs Best Friend.
