 All right today's video is going to be what I call the light switch on light switch off Meaning if you've seen my other protection videos, we turn the dog on to bark at somebody in aggressive action and When we want to turn them off and stop them from talking and stop the threat We just tell them out or quiet and the dog will shut off the talking and that's that and no more aggressive activity Okay, so Today I'm going to show you with a six-month-old German shepherd puppy choppo I've been working with the owner through Skype Then I'm doing this video because just today on three of my Skype sessions This was the same question about this particular Concept okay, so I figured since there was three alone today on Skype. I Might as well go over because this has always been a topic that people Want to know how you do it? Okay, so Six-month-old puppy, okay, so Here what we're going to do is We already got choppo pre today To bark at a toy. Okay, so when the owner has him by his side He tells him watch and the puppy will start to bark at the toy that's out there, okay so now what we're going to do here is You're going to see the owner tell him watch He's going to start activating the puppy cannot leave his side. He has to stay right there Not leave the leg the heel leg Okay, when we turn them into action So he's going to say watch to him the puppy's going to start barking at the toy and Then for the first time today right here in front of you doing all this for the first time He's going to tell him to quiet When the puppy deactivates and stops the talking we're going to reward with the toy He may be on his way already That was good Now what you want to do is to Because you see there we need a little bit of activity To get him not He's he did it. Well, he's barking was a little stalled not as you know Because he might be a little confused Not what's coming. So I just gonna hold him and wing it like you do I throw it right. All right. Let's try that and then this time you want to give him a reward for the barking Meaning a treat I could stop you just to bring in the bumper So when he talks this time for good talking reward the talk All right, so the barking was okay But I want more intensity and duration, okay, so What I'm having the owner do is Amp him up hype him up and this is one thing That I've come across in my career with the public Trainers that I train the motivation factor is Usually lacking Right knowing when to turn the dog on when to help so for choppo We need to Ready ready ready and get that toy going right free So we hold them up ready and we get it going we wind it and we throw it out there to get those Juices going so we get more intensity Okay, and this causes a habit causes habits for the future him queuing up and really getting at it when we start to do these things, okay, so also He had a lot of fetch before we did this so he's not at his peak of energy So that also has a little bit of the factor to it But the toy When he's out there One thing you hear the owner say here Was do I reward him with food? Okay? You do not want to use food for rewards in this game Okay, so the reward is going to be the toy itself for his activity, okay, so When he's barking he does well or he stops talking when we ask him to be quiet for being quiet We bring the toy to him here We reward the behavior with the toy coming to him Okay, whether it's for barking or for being quiet. He's gonna get a reward for both. Okay now When you use food for these things It's a terrible thing to do Okay, so if I have food and I try to reward his quietness Right and he likes the food We're gonna start getting in this game Watch and he's gonna rower and he's gonna start looking at the owner food and He'll take his attention off of the game knowing that the owner has food and We'll get a lot of weirdness right that the dog will never stay At a toy or an object or a person we're trying to do this with as an aggressor So this interrupts the game when you do food for this We want to see rah rah rah and the toy is that a group that stay to mind and That focuses always at the object that we're telling him to bark at Never to have reward here at the owner and give from here Right for talking or for being quiet Okay, and again we start doing that. We're gonna have a lot of unstable disconnected behaviors So instead of rah and the intensity we're gonna start getting rah rah No, no rah rah rah Right now we get this weird Bar game That's not intense It's always this and the intensity towards the object and the focus is Gonna be lacking greatly So no food in these kinds of games It will be the intensity of the toy and Yes, and he gets that toy that he's really active for and then we play tug-of-war with him and We keep that energy and that passion for that object Okay, so it's very important Hey What do you think about that? Yeah, he really started off good, you know, and then he started tail off a little bit So it's just getting the wind up and he's been doing stuff for a while, too Yeah, it's energy it's not gonna be the same as if you did this from the beginning, right? We'll try it. Yeah, what you do to hold them good and Right and and I wouldn't do it too far, okay You ready? Yeah, so what you think we should do next yeah, I mean I was good now what you try is turn them on turn them off turn them back on All right, then you reward for the back on further back. Yeah, I got it. So that'd be cool Good boy. Good boy. Oh Hey, look at that. You didn't see it Yeah, one of my text You So what you could have done was rewarded for the active talking again, okay? Yeah, so sometimes I'm gonna throw in once in a while whichever one he doesn't know which one's coming But because that was the first time you went to active to non active back to active I Reward for the active again after the quiet. All right, right the next time I reward them on the quiet So I could do the four like you just did because that was four sequences all right, so in that segment there there was four Sequences of watch get active quiet to shut down Watch again to go active and then Tony threw in one that I didn't expect at the end and It was hard to hear him at the end, but then he said quiet again And then rewarded the dog immediately for shutting off again at the end So I'll play here again, but you'll see just listen to that last one at the end because there was a quiet thrown in at the end just as He rewarded right so he did four sequences there, which was very good For the first time ever doing this with this puppy Right so Tony pushed it a little bit and he went a little beyond it, but that's the game right and he did it perfectly He turned on on watch. He shut off on quiet He turned on again on watch and then he shut off and get on quiet and then got his reward So light switch on light switch off You ready I'm gonna just do three this time. Yeah, but doing four you Overshot it and he did it perfectly. Yeah, he still did it. Yeah, we'll do make it easier this time He's getting that down too, I guess we have that'll work Just play with that on and off sometimes I tell him to watch it and I give it to him on the first time for talking Then I just give it to him on a quiet then I mix it up I do three sequence four sequences five sequences, right? So I just kind of mix it up all the time so he never knows which one's going to be the reward one Now also The question will be Because most people will not be able to do it so smoothly To get him to bark well and then to turn him off so well like Chappell's gonna do here throughout the video How do we do it? Whether people want to hear it or not With the e-caller We gently are able to talk to him gently just a little communicator of That's that Okay, now we've never done this with him before this is the first time That we're making him Do quiet here in the video. He's never done this before and You see that using this their e-caller There's no negative effects or Making him worried or concerned Frightened right the whole world has this completely backwards now saying that You have to understand how to do e-colors very well my method. I always want happy Motivated dogs. I'm just using it as a communicator not to punish him right So all the dogs you see in my YouTube channels and chop oh included if this bothered him like that we would get him shut down and He wouldn't want to bark anymore But I've done this 25 years. I know exactly what I'm doing The beauty of this when it's done properly because we can get him to understand things very quickly smoothly without Any hitches right and instantly with no fear anxiety ruining the behavior and clearly here in the video you can see it does not distress him one bit Now saying that Chappos gone through other exercises are ready So he's very fluent to the collar and Is not afraid of it Right. So before you do something like this You have to have an obedience e-color game Before you work on exercises like this or any protection exercises With the e-caller because then things will be very smooth We get the best performances out of our protection dogs balancing out positive and E-colors right and it's not a complete negative. So I don't want to say positive negative because that's not the way it really is Dogs were meant to be bitten when they came to the planet by each other not living with humans There wouldn't be any No out hey drop it later, right We make things very clear simple and a little physical touch for the moment because that's what he was born for Species was meant to bite each other through communication humans got this all wrong all backwards and confused and That's why we get a beautiful performance out of him using this to stop him from talking and Turn him back on without any issues whatsoever Right or again We're not doing it as punishment We're just communicating quickly so that We can get very smooth and get his mind and You know this energy under control and then we reactivate it and then he has no problems reactivating Right, and I think we only really used it the first time when he told him the quiet the first time I think after that he didn't Tony didn't have to use it anymore. He just quieted after the first time every time without it so You get things very quick When working with the collar when it's done properly and the dog has an understanding of the language of this Usually we in my method we get things done one two three First day usually we get anything I want Because the dogs have the system of that and things become so clean and easy So just so you know how we're going about Getting him to be quiet when we tell him All right So that is how I go about the process of the light switch on light switch off again meaning When I tell you to bark at something or someone You go active on the command When I tell you to be quiet you shut off completely and that's that on The quiet verbal to shut down okay, so Future protection for him later. We have a decoy out there the bad guy We tell him to watch him he'll bark at him if we want to shut him off That's that and the decoy can come and pet him and touch him and the game is off Okay, so we have total control Over what the dog is going to do Right, so if we turn him on He goes on we shut him off. That's that and we're done with the aggression unless I say otherwise Okay, then life just goes on anybody can pet him the decoy can pet him Whatever it is and the game is over and aggression is done and over and no more talking no aggressive state Okay, so that is light switch on light switch off
