You're going to have to tell *him*. Conflicting input is the problem, so *that's* what needs to stop - dog's brain can't accept a filter, not enough MhZ or RAM. ^_^
And be sure explain it truthfully and honestly, and let him know how vitally important it is: training is tough, un-training is Much More Difficult, and the groundwork laid in the dog's mind will affect everything ever after. Might help to let him know it's not about judging his behavior {"you're too mischevious!" or "you're deliberately undermining me!" because he's probably not, right?}, it's about training the dog, making an imprint, etc etc. and the dog can only process so much, and will be disturbed by conflicting input.
Whee! It's such a relief to notice someone actively concerned with how *they* impact the training of a pet, rather than viewing them as "pretty thinking house thing on it's own". Yay for you!
