Take box that is stable put it with the opening on the ground.
Take 2 "fences" and put them beside the box.
Put a flat collar on the dog with a long leash
Put the dog on the box
stand behind him holding him back
A helper commes in and tries to get the dog to bite him
The handler holds back the dog
repeat 3 or 4 times without a bite
stop the excercise
restart next training.
If the dog shows agression the decoy lets the dog bite if not restart like first training
at the required distance.
Decoy moves backwards
dog is pulled off and pulled on the box
Decoy "grabs" the attention of the dog so it turns on the box and faces the decoy
repeat 2 or 3 times
Lots of praise when the dog returns to his object
Take it from there step by step
Are you talking about a ring sport object guard or a personal protection object guard? They are trained with very differnt mind sets but I bet the foundation is the same (I've only trained the ring sport object guard).

I'm talking about ring but i invite you to take an object from a ring dog when he is guarding it.
The idea is the same only differenci is that in ring the emphasis is on the way that it is done

I taught this to my patrol dog just for fun (and something different). I placed an object on the ground (a jacket, I believe) and told him to down on it. I did this a few times and then I started to give a "Platz-Guard" command while directing him to the object. After awhile I only used the Guard command while pointing to the object and he would go lay on it.
Once he got to a point where I could have him automatically "Guard" an object on command, I started the protection phase. I actually wore a sleeve and taught him that the magic line to cross was about 4 feet from him. I had to give him the bite command at that distance so he knew what to do. Once he would follow me around in a circle without breaking, I introduced a helper. The dog learned the exercise in about 10-15 training sessions or so. Granted, it aint as pretty as the sport guys but the dog knows the drill.

Howard, you just answered a question rolling around in my head about using a 2 word command (one word being a word the dog already knows), then dropping it down to a one word command. I've done it and although my pup didn't get confused, I still wondered if it was a good idea.
