The Trainer/Owner/Handler are more appropriate words than Master, has to be consistent. As with a real animal if you are going to teach it anything you have to communicate a consistent message. Anything else will only confuse the K9 and you both loose.

The Trainer sets the rules, so he has to remember them as well as the dog - the rules must be adhered to. These rules maybe jointly set in the very beginning, as the trainer develops he can grow the scope of the rules as the dog achieves.
Dogs are not into Mind-Games, if you want to piss-about there are other scenes to explore (try interrogation scenes).
