How do I teach my dog the "break" command?

I was wondering. I have almost finished the intermediate obedience course, and I sometimes see video's of dogs that can really hold a command, or hold a specific type of focus and when we the people say 'break', the dog knows it can go and do whatever.

Are there courses that zoom in on this behavior?

Today's Q&A

These behaviors are taught with a deep understanding of using markers to communicate with your dog, and building up duration with lots of repetitions. Consider checking out Power of Training Dogs with Markers.
