Loki is allowed on the bed, which is fine when he sleeps by my head or the foot of the bed, but sometimes he will stretch out sideways in the middle! Anyway, when he is annoying about it I ask him to get "off" I taught him the "off" command by tossing a treat on the floor and saying "OFF!" the second all 4 feet hit the floor. We practiced every day until he got it. Now I can ask him to get off, and he does. He will hop back on, but then I ask him to get off again. Usually I only have to ask twice and he will stay off.
I did the same thing to teach "out" as in "get out of the bathroom" (or kitchen, or crate) I tossed a treat into the other room and said "out" Now when he goes in the bathroom I just quietly say "out" and he complies. If I ask him twice, he stays out. |
