Marker Words are the secret sauce…
If you aren’t properly conditioning your marker words or you don’t have an intentional marker word system, you’re going to have a tough time training your dog.
Properly conditioned marker words allow you to clearly communicate to your dog when they did the right thing and what thing exactly earned them their reward.
Without that clarity, they’ll just keep offering behaviors or looking at you confused when you give them a command.
This is my specific reward marker system, and it doesn’t have to be the same as yours, but you DO need to be intentional with your markers and when/how you use them.
