If the dog jumps off the counter, praise them, say “yes” (or click) and give them a treat. If the dog doesn't jump off, you might need to lure them off the counter with treats a few more times before they figure out that “off” means that their paws should come off the counter and go back on the floor.
When your dog inevitably jumps up on the counter or table, place a treat in front of their nose, say the command “off” and then use the treat to lure your dog to putting his or her feet on the ground. Once their feet are on the ground, immediately give the treat and praise your dog.
If you catch your puppy misbehaving, try a loud noise such as clapping your hands or a loud "uh-uh" or a sharp “off”. Remember, reprimands need to occur while the behavior is happening, preferably just as it begins, and never after.
Puppies shouldn't be asked to jump in extreme or competitive situations until they're at least 12-15 months old (or older for giant/slow-maturing breeds). This is because puppy growth plates aren't closed until at least 12 months of age and jumping on open growth plates can cause long term damage.
Place your puppy on a leash and walk up to your couch or bed. The second he prepares for the jump, tug back and say “No!” Encourage him to go to his own bed and, when he does, pet him. Walk back and forth until he goes to his own area automatically.
The answer for this is simple. Put the behavior on a command, such as “Up!” paired with a hand signal of patting your chest. The dog is only allowed to jump up when he hears that command, and must immediately stop when he hears the word “Enough!” or “Okay!” Ask for a sit if your dog is having a hard time stopping.
Offering Alternative Behaviors
For these dogs, a simple way to shift your dog from trying to bite their leash is to give the dog something to hold while walking like a ball or other toy. For dogs who love to tug, carrying a tug toy can be an effective way to eliminate leash biting.
They want our attention
Puppies also jump up on the sofa to get our attention, which is often what they want most in the world! Even if we're cross and asking them to get down, it means they're getting some kind of interaction and it can turn into a bit of a game.

In general, letting your dog on the furniture is unlikely to cause problems, behavioral or otherwise. Dogs love to curl up on the sofa, the bed, and anywhere else that's nice and soft. They also like to spend time in their humans' favorite spots.
Some common examples that can result in a broken leg in a dog include: Jumping from a Height - Dogs often suffer from fractures when they attempt to jump off of furniture such as a couch or tall bed.
When Can Your Puppy Go on a Walk? Wait to take your puppy for a walk until he's fully vaccinated—typically around 18 weeks of age. Again, most vaccines take two weeks to take effect (except for the rabies vaccine, which takes 28 days to take effect).
When playtime is over, give her a potty break and then put her up for a rest. When she is loose and attacking your clothes and legs, stop moving and ask her for another behavior that you will reward. If this doesn't work, calmly put her in her crate with a small treat for a puppy timeout.
Sit Instead of Biting.
Since most puppies learn to “Sit” relatively fast and it is a behavior we reward quite often, you can use it to redirect your pup into a “Sit” instead of biting. Observe your pup and when you see him coming towards you with “that look”, ask him to “Sit” before he even gets a chance to bite you.
