I have a very good watch me command under some intense distractions,where dog will look into my eyes.
I would now like to teach my dog to look away under command ,my goal is a group of people give dog command to watch a particular person in the group.
How do I go about teaching this.

Thanks Brent

Brent, Are you asking how to get your dog to watch a particular person in a group of people?

Hello Ellaine
Example note more to do with protection.

I've seen videos where dog will be watching handler someone will walk past in a normal manner ,handler will give command watch him and dog spins and watches stranger.
Also dog watching handler , handler gives command watch ball,tug toy,dog spins focusses on that toy and just starts to bark.
You would certainly have to have a high drive dog.

Not sure of the training steps.

Brent;

"Watch him" and "watch it" are different, but both are taught with markers, albeit with different marker conditions.

"Watch him" is taught in initial phases of protection, marking not with your reward marker, but with your duration bridge ("good", if that's your duration marker). We teach it when we initiate the dog to defense while tied to the fence. When we get defensive reactions to the decoy, the handler (from a distance)marks with a "good". When the dog looks toward the handler, as beginning dogs invariably do, he quits marking, and the decoy agitates the dog. The handler commands the dog to watch him, and when the dog turns his attention to the decoy, the handler marks again. It is important to only mark when the dog is focused on the decoy, ignores the dog when not focused, and commands when the dog refocuses on the decoy.
"Watch it" is much easier and can be done without a helper. You can use the reward mark, but I prefer the duration bridge, only rewarding after extended periods of focus. If you want a bark, you'll have to build that after the dog understands the basic watch behavior.

Watching a particular person in a crowd can only be done after the dog knows "watch him" very well. You'll have to get the dog focused on a helper, then move the helper into a crowd.

As Bob said in your other post, MAKE SURE the dog is ready for defense before initiating.

You can start with "watch it" and that will help later when you get into defense.

Duane thanks very much .

This 16 month old rotty of mine is showing a very good work ethic, I want to gradually bring in new things to teach him.
This keeps my mind thinking as well as the dogs.
