Training methods, philosophy, motivational? Corrections? Compulsion? E-collar? Prong? Food? Toy? The dog looks sensitive, was just curious what caused it.
Mike here is a link to "SoloPitGirl6" doing some "fun ob" with a different dog. Doesn't answer your question completely (I am also interested) but you can see that there is toys, motivation and markers involved:

I missed the edit time, but I was not trying to suggest that this dog was not trained with compultion, because it seems that it has been. (I do not know for sure). Only saying that the handler does include things like toys and motivation somewhere in the training.
As I said in my post, I am also interested to hear the answer to Mike's question.
I am a novice when it comes to dog training, but there is a world of difference (to my inexperienced eye) in enthusiasm and response to commands from the dog in the first video vs the dog in the 2nd video. (the visible enthusiasm evident in the 2nd dog) Interesting...
Or is that just the nature of a more formal obedience session vs a 'fun' session?
just a guess on my part, in the first and second vids the Mal is working his little brain as hard as he can to focus on the job. The play time vid is just that, "Simon says"

Do you mean that the first video highlights the anxious canine body language of compulsion training? Yes, I agree with you. The first "down" command, at around 41 seconds, was where I started to see it clearly.
