@everyday_dog_trainer: If you don’t have marker words that have been completely installed thoroughly to give your dog an emotional response your training will always be average. Marker words: YES 🙌 This is your camera shutter firing off a snapshot of the exact moment your dog makes the right decision 📸 A marker tells your dog:“I LOVE that behaviour. Do more of it.”But if your marker hasn’t been properly installed, your dog may not clearly understand the exact moment they got it right especially in distracting environments like the streets. That confusion can make training far less effective.Try this simple little exercise and watch how your dog responds 👀🐶 to install your marker. Say Yes in a high-pitched tone then Grab and then give (yummy food) and complete the action within 2 to 3 seconds. Repeat the process for 2 to 3 days and then do the exact test that I did with echo here to see if your Dog has the correct response. #puppytraining #DogTraining #novascotiaducktollingretriever #dogtrainingtips
