I used Off with him earlier today and pushed him off the couch as I said it, and it seemed to work. We'll keep working on it.
Yes, I have read a lot on the forum, online, and in books about how to train some of the basic commands. We are following the NILIF method for everything and he knows the basics like Sit, Down, Stay, Leave It, and Shake. We're working on Watch Me, Come, and Fetch/Give.
Tomorrow I will have him out of the crate more and see how it goes. He already thinks of the crate as a positive place so we have that going for us.
I'll get him set up for a group training class when he's 4 months. Thanks again for all of your advice.
