Hi, thanks for the question! Yes, Kevin is shaping a bark on command here. At the end you can hear a really strong "huff" because the dog has collected her breath and projected her breath instead of her body. If I remember correctly, this dog has a bite history, and so Kevin is wanting the dog to collect the body and project emotionally instead of physically surging forward. This increases the dog's emotional capacity because she starts responding to the trigger with coherence instead of reactivity. If your dog can bark while pressurized, he can control his reactions and act appropriately according to the present moment rather than running old programs based on instinct, fear, and post traumatic stress.
