Id say first of all, he would say (and has in other videos) dont have any other toys out laying around. The only toy that should be available is the one you have.
As for any other distraction, just ignore it and re engage, make a noise, call him, whatever it takes to get his attention back,remember as soon as it turns and commits to you, MARK & reward with the tug.
As for the barking while playing I missed that in the DVDs, exactly what chapter (time frame) was that in? Maybe for a competition dog it makes a difference, for just a house dog I wouldnt think it matters. But, it would seem that if the dog is barking at the handler, then its for a reason, maybe the handler isnt giving up the toy often or fast enough, in other words the dog is barking at you to create engagement with you.
Im watching the power of playing tug DVD set now if I see that about the barking I will add to this thread.
Pretty awesome dude that Michael Ellis.

ok I just saw the barking thing, with a lady & a black & grey GSD in a park. A verbal correction, No and/or a few quick leash pops.
It was all to do with keeping engagement, anytime they so much as look away they get a verbal NO, then as soon as they turn back to you YES & release them to the tug.
There was another clip where he actually used a hard NO when a dog barked, So Im sticking with Verbal Correction anytime it does something undesireable.
Remember to be animated, move around alot, keep the dog moving by moving yourself, good voice excitement also keeps em ramped up. the more of that you do the less the dog will get distracted.
