Paws on the Ground

I'm still trying to train this massive, passionate and curious dog. She's quite limber and can reach counters, desks, etc. So, I walk around behind her shouting, "Paws on the ground!"

I must expand my limited vocabulary. Last night we were out with friends. Someone touched me in a way that made me uncomfortable. Instead of handling it with grace, I simply said, "Paws on the ground!"
