Should You Correct Your Dog When He’s Naughty?
Your dog doesn’t just ‘do stuff’ for no reason. Dogs do what they do because it gets them what they want, enjoy or need. Or it lets them escape or avoid nasty things they’d rather not have to put up with. Learn the benefits being a proactive trainer vs being a reactive one. Discover how your dog will learn faster with positive reinforcement and the fallout of using correction training methods.

What is Marker Training?
Marker training means using a unique signal to give our canine friend a clear, instant feedback to help him learn. It tells him exactly what he did to earn their reward. Why not simply hand your dog a reward when he does something correct? The problem with this approach is it’s not very precise. In many cases, by the time your dog gets the reward, its already done about 7 extra things – so what did he get the reward for? To take the confusion out of training and to clarify the communication, a marker is the ideal solution. It is fun and addictive for both you and your dog.
