hi yuki, i might have a way to teach you to teach your puppy a leave/off command....you can try it.............. make sure you are somewhere calm and quiet.Hold a treat in your hand and close your finger tightly around it. present your hand to the pup and wait while he sniff ,licks and nibbles,trying to get the food.Do not say anything watch carefully ,as soon as your puppy take his nose away from your hand even for a split secong,click or use your clciker word,then give the treat repeat several times now repeat the exercise but this time wait until the pup has taken hi nose away from your hand for the count to two then click and treat build up the amount of time that your pup will wait with his nose well away from your hand to about 10 sec.......at this point you can add in the cue word- "leave" or "off" ....in a calm ,quiet voice,not a threatening one once your puppy repeat the exercise but this time say "off" or "leave" then present the food on your open hand...if the puppy tries to take it ,simply close your fingers around the food do not jerk your hand..... over a period of repetitions most puppies rapidly learn that the word "off " or "leave" means that they must not touch...............and this can be extended to object on the floor ,outside and also poo poo... regards
