<human>:  What is the best way to train a dog to stay off of furniture?
<bot>: The best way to train a dog to stay off of furniture is to teach them the 'leave it' command, start with treats in your hand, and reward them when they leave the furniture. Additionally, you should provide alternative activities for them to focus on, like a puzzle toy or chew toy. Finally, consistently remind the dog when they are trying to get onto the furniture that they are not allowed, using verbal commands and/or a leash.
