I use/train both mine mainly for Security purposes. Not attack, but alarm. And, in doing that, I have to allow them to "charge", which unavoidably gives them permission to go outside and confront an intruder. And when they get it right, they're highly praised, and when wrong, they just don't get petted for it. I use that positive reinforcement in all areas. Never actually scold one, just don't praise.

I also use small barriers to keep my guys out of areas of the house, I don't want them in. The barriers can be small narrow shelves or a piece of cardboard, both which they could jump over easily, but don't, It's just there to set a limit on whereabouts. I could easily open the front door (no fence to keep them from the world there) put a piece of cardboard in the doorway, and be absolutely sure they wouldn't cross it.
