That Feeling When Your Dog Obeys A Command

[vnv]

We have always let our dog curl up on the couch next to us (even after she destroyed a futon). I have tried to teach her the command "Off" for when we want her to get down and also for her to wait for permission before she jumps up. I admit we have been inconsistent so it hasn't worked that well. We recently bought her a new bed for the lounge room and I have been teaching her the command "Bed" when I want her to get on it. This morning she did it three times in a row!! The third time she was actually on the couch next to me and she still jumped off and went to her own bed. It's the best feeling and she got so much praise.

Does anyone else have a story of a trick that took their own dog a while to learn?

Nah - my dog is a poop and once you think he has learnt it he proves spectacularly that he hasn't!
