    Teaching your Pug to stop jumping on furniture takes patience and consistency, but with the right approach, they can learn to stay off. Here’s what to do:

    1. Set Clear Boundaries

    • Decide where your Pug is allowed and not allowed to go. Be consistent—don’t let them on the furniture sometimes and then scold them other times. This will confuse them.

    2. Create an Alternative Spot

    • Give them a comfy place of their own, like a dog bed or blanket, near where you spend time. Pugs love being close to their humans, so make sure their spot feels cozy and appealing.
    • Use treats and praise to encourage them to use this spot instead of the furniture.

    3. Use Positive Reinforcement

    • Reward your Pug whenever they stay off the furniture or go to their designated spot. Treats, praise, and pets will help reinforce good behavior.

    4. Block Access to Furniture

    • Use deterrents like baby gates or furniture covers to make it harder for your Pug to jump up.
    • Place double-sided tape or aluminum foil on furniture temporarily—most dogs dislike the texture or sound and will avoid the area.

    5. Teach the “Off” Command

    • When your Pug jumps on furniture, calmly say “Off” while gently guiding them down (or lure them with a treat).
    • Once they’re off, praise them or give them a treat to reinforce the command.

    6. Be Consistent

    • Everyone in the household needs to follow the same rules. If one person lets your Pug on the couch and another doesn’t, they’ll get mixed signals and won’t learn.

    7. Prevent Jumping

    • Keep an eye on your Pug, especially when they’re near furniture. If they look like they’re about to jump up, redirect them to their spot with a toy or treat before they have the chance.

    8. Provide Enough Exercise

    • Sometimes dogs jump on furniture out of boredom or pent-up energy. Regular walks and playtime can reduce this behavior.

    When to Be Patient

    Pugs are persistent and love to be near you, so it might take some time for them to understand the new rules. Stick with it, stay positive, and don’t scold them harshly—this can make them anxious or confused.

    With consistency and positive reinforcement, your Pug will learn that the floor (or their bed) is the best place to be! 😊
