I always feel it’s best to teach with marker training and then go to the ecollar after the dog completely understands what is expected of them. It’s certainly not necessary, lots of people train dogs with electric collars and don’t use marker training, but my recommendation is to use marker training as a prerequisite to everything. Basically marker training teaches a dog how to learn, which accelerates the process and typically (if done correctly) makes the dog a more interactive and engaged partner in the whole training process.
