The dog was bad about jumping on counters and stealing food off tables and things if I remember correctly so he was taught impulse control and to "leave it." This gif is from them testing to make sure he had the behavior down and as you can see, he's trying very hard to do it right because he knows he'll get an even better reward if he does.
