 Alright, so in this video, I'm going to talk about the purpose of guard the object and if there is a purpose to it, and do I use it and is it for real life, okay? It's just a cool thing to teach it's a lot of fun to see a dog learn how to hold onto something beautifully and any object we throw out there they learn how to control the object stay with it long wise or small wise alright it's it's just a fun thing to teach and play with okay now is it for real life not really can it be well I've had clients in my life that they want their dog to guard some kind of object a vault you know something a briefcase something like that okay and I've done it for them and we taught the dog to do it for real life scenarios so it had a purpose for them okay in a realistic you know situation now why do I teach it to begin with so and you see that in a lot of my videos okay of the guard the object stuff really the reason that I use it and you see me teaching it is not because I want to teach guard the object okay it is the step to teaching very good reveres bark and holds okay so it quickly adds a lot right of structure of holding position in reveres we want the dog to come up stay in front when they're told not to bite to go up and threaten okay and bark okay scaring the person threatening them and again if the person moves or swings at them to attack the dog is allowed to attack automatically in retaliation for that action okay so but the revere itself is to go and run up to somebody stop them right there or hold them bark right aggressively there scaring them hopefully holding them right where they are okay so what do we need to that we need a dog to understand to get in the front position bark aggressively and keep that barking going okay so when we teach to get on the objects we move around them we keep them in movement we're teaching them right off the bat when they get on an object to bark okay and we move around them for them to hold that position no matter which way we go around them how many times how close okay until somebody reaches in and tries to grab pretending like we're gonna go grab the object okay so that is my setup right to get a good bark and hold okay that's my step before now is it necessary no does it help dramatically yes it makes getting bark and holds very fast like days okay and the way I do this with the guard the object you will hear in let's say Mondio ring or any of the ring sports that guard the object is the hardest thing to do okay it takes a long time to teach well in my system the way I do it I get it in days like two days right really really well three days to a week and it is solid right I can go into any competition and all the dogs you see here that are guarding boxes cardboard boxes or coolers or any of that we're talking it's just days of training it's not weeks or months years it's days where they can hold any object and understand their feet the talking how to hold on put how to spin right and block the person off okay so that is my foundation to quickly get control holding themselves in a position okay and waiting for the bite to come to them them come off the platforms to go bite like in Mondio ring okay where that's dangerous stuff in real life okay so before I get there just to finish this so sending dogs to an object to guard it get on top of something hold their feet hold their position not to come off and attack not until we go to them and bring the bite to them on the object very quickly they learn how to keep their feet there okay and wait for the bite to come to them okay and keeping them active talking that's what guard the object does for me very quickly I mean days okay then we can send them into reveres to somebody without any platforms or an object to guard and they'll just stay in front of the person Rara and just bark at him bark at him bark at him until that arm comes to hit them okay extremely and highly effective it's probably the quickest way I've ever seen in the world of object guarding or bark and hold techniques I get it so fast faster than any other system I've ever seen okay and reliably now that's the foundation of how to guard an object and guard something and again I use it for prep work for the bark and hold while I'm teaching a guard the object now the way I'm teaching though the guard the object is not the way you would teach it for real life okay so for real life KNPV during their police test is the only sport that does it closest to what it should be done in reality okay so they put like a briefcase down and they down the dog on it and the dog stays there and quiet okay and the decoy passes the dog knows what's coming right the decoy passes he just lays there the decoy will come back to him and go and try to grab the object of the dog supposed to bite him as he comes down to grab it stop him from doing it okay but the dog is in a lay down passive state not barking okay because barking makes no sense in real life for for guard the object okay because just like Darren came in you're gonna put the dog on something you don't know if anybody's ever gonna come around you don't want the dog just getting on there and talking right and wasting energy for no reason okay so in real life so for example I had a client that wanted something out in public and to guard it a lot of people around street okay so we have to teach the dog to get on it and lay on it and stay passive while the public is going on around this okay we don't want a dog get on it right barking at every single person that's walking by in the street there's no need for that okay it's unnecessary and how long is the guy gonna be in there how long is this dog gonna be barking and wasting energy okay so the dog goes passive okay and now anybody could walk around it past it there's no threat the dogs not gonna just fly off and bite somebody cuz they came close all right in Monday O-ring training it makes no sense right for real life okay where they're teaching from like I don't know the exact three to six feet away from the object that as soon as the guy puts his foot inward towards the object from three to six feet away the dogs allowed to run off and attack them in the leg okay that is dangerous stuff for real life you cannot do that stuff right that makes no sense okay so and you'll see here Michael with his dog okay that you see he sends her to something she gets on it and she stays passive now we don't mind if the dog spins on it right a little bit to watch him that's fine we just don't want any aggressiveness out hostility barking not necessary don't waste energy okay we just want a little bit of a lean in that it's gonna be somebody's gonna hover to do it okay so you'll see her here get on the object and he's gonna go around and bait her you'll see him take a step in sometimes with his leg to set the pillow up in Monday O-ring that's an automatic bite okay but we do not want that all right so you'll see him go in with his leg sometimes teaser like he was gonna do it changes mind go back around put a foot in the setup that would be an automatic bite again in Monday O-ring but from all the way out not close those dogs don't let you get that close here you're gonna see Michael very close okay so we're playing a very realistic game here him taunting her in a close range going around staying still putting his leg in and not until he makes a subtle move does she come up and hit okay it's that she knows that there was intention in that movement that he was actually that time going to go in and in for the object okay and she's very quick about reading the body language understanding when he's gonna do it and when he's not gonna do what he's bluffing okay the dogs brilliant so that's what you're gonna see Michael do here and try to come in and she's spot on with it okay so it's beautiful technique her understanding is phenomenal it does not get any better it can't okay so this is how we would teach guard the object for real life and here you're gonna see Michael at this puppy walk in walk in with his feet come to the dog taunt go back out walk in at them right and teaching the dog different perspectives because in real life if anybody was walking straight on the object and didn't know it a mondial ring dog would blow off and just go bite the person okay so we're prepping dogs in real life regard the object that if you see somebody walking at the object straight on doesn't mean you come off and bite you hold that position until there's a bend over a reach in not just because we're getting close or that we took a step in your direction that means you can fly eight feet away and hit the leg okay completely unrealistic and dangerous okay so being passive watching okay even very close range understanding no attacks no jumping off early waiting for the reaching okay and another thing difference between sport mondial ring in particular and real life people don't use their legs to get something right they bend over and they're gonna try to grab something so KMPV does it properly for the police test where they go and reach down to try to grab the dog bites it's exactly how we teach it okay the only difference between how I teach real life and KMPV KMPV is half diversion close but they only the decoy stays on one side of the dog they don't make them turn and guard the object if they have to they just lay on it they don't learn how to spin on it and guard it just in case somebody's going around them so the dog doesn't turn around and face the person to cut it off they know that the person is going to come in in testing and in practice just one way when they're down and come in that same direction so there's no holding the object in teaching guard the object moving the feed on it and doing that okay so also difference there okay even between a more realistic approach than the mondial ring mine we're taking it completely to a totally realistic place for real life okay so it's get on it move with it if you have to no need to bark you can just lay there too if you want just make sure you're looking and you can see the person and wait for that gesture okay that is a realistic guard the object okay so the getting on and barking version is not realistic it's a setup for me teaching all those dogs that to get a bark and hold if I go to the realistic guard the object for real life it's get on it I don't care if you stand on it lay on it I don't care stay passive no barking right not that they're not allowed to bark they can here or there if they feel but if we don't want to send them there and rubber rubber like all the other dogs you see that I'm teaching there okay and generally get passive and that would be a real life safely done guard the object
