After marking a behavior with yes my dog will look for the reward/treat. Is it ok if she looks for the reward after the mark?
Full Question:
Hi Cindy,We have purchased 2 of your videos and have been watching several of your free videos on training. We are volunteer puppy raisers for Canine Companions for Independence and have made great progress with our puppy and with our 2 other dogs (lab/golden mixes).
We did have a question and have not found it on the videos (although I am sure it is there, we just haven't been able to come across it yet). After marking a behavior with "yes" she will look for the reward/treat. Is it ok if she looks for the reward after the mark?
Thank you for your help. We have been recommending your videos to all our puppy raiser friends.

Cindy's Answer:
Yes, you want her to expect her reward after the mark. As soon as you say YES, she's free to access her reward. It's the best response you can hope for. Sounds like she's doing great.
