"In this  episode, host Katie McKnight reveals the fundamental technique of marker training, a method professional trainers use to achieve reliable results. 

The episode breaks down how to properly use marker words (like 'yes' or a clicker) paired with reinforcers to effectively communicate with dogs. Katie explains why timing is crucial, how to choose the right rewards, and addresses common challenges like dogs who appear 'not food motivated.' 

Through real-world examples, listeners learn practical steps to implement marker training. The episode includes specific tips about meal management to increase training success and concludes with a simple daily practice plan. Perfect for both new and experienced dog owners looking to improve their training results."

We often want to push ahead when it comes to training. I have taught the foundational steps for place only to have a client want to offer to test the dogs abilities by calling their neighbor to ring the door bell. Or we teach a dog to walk on a loose-leash in the house. The next day we receive a call from a frustrated client complaining that their dog did poorly walking at a street fair.

It is important that clients and trainers understand that less is more. In this podcast we discuss the importance of ending training on a positive note and not working until a dog is confused and frustrated.
