Rounder, a rhodesian ridgeback rescue, demonstrates the off-switch game from Leslie McDevitt's award winning book, Control Unleashed. I use a motivational cue ("can you...") with Rounder's behaviors because it gets him aroused. I wanted to highlight the contrast between aroused and "off."
That was awesome... Rounder spins faster and more enthusiastically than my border collie... just to let you know :)

Equally as impressive as the comfortable performance of on and off is the bond between you two! I love seeing a "non-traditional" breed expressing such pure joy at working with his person. Wonderful video of such a valuable skill.
