Should I be giving a bite command when teasing with his prey item? I'm guessing NO, but is there a command that I should be giving him after an "OUT" to let him know that he can go after the item again? Is it just my actions and the fact that I am teasing again that lets him know that the game is on?

Then I give a bite command "Packen" or "Getem", really it's japanese "Hiajamae". But during drive building session no command is given, the more you move the prey item, this sets them off. After the drive sessions then start adding bite work commands, bite training sessions here they learn control aggression. Don't try this but I use ballons let them float around, on command I alert then release him and he bites and brust them. This could frighten some dogs, becaus of the loud noise. Probably not yours the more noise he hears the more he wants to bite. Both my dogs will do it but the GSD seems to like to do it. I've never seen this as a authorized method of training so I would not recommend it. I use it to practice their control bite commands.
