Will the Marker DVD explain how to retrain an already trained dog? Will it give me the skills to break down new commands that I will face in the next step of AKC obedience trials?

Full Question:
Thanks for putting this video [The Power of Training Dogs with Markers) out. I am waiting patiently and I am rejuvenated in my training aspirations. I have trained my GS in obedience and achieved a CD title in AKC. I now want to try Marker training and move up the ladder in AKC obedience. I trained my GS with high praise and yank and crank. I am really excited about trying this method.

My question is, will this video explain how to retrain an already trained dog? Will it give me the skills to break down new commands that I will face in the next step of AKC obedience trials?

Thanks,
Mike

This video breaks down the marker system for the PERSON so that you can use the techniques to train your dog. Retraining a dog with this method is really no different than training a new dog. It’s all started with fun and food and once they realize that they are a partner in the training (as opposed to a recipient) you will see them really enjoy and start trying to problem solve.

We will be doing more videos in the future that will show training steps for more exercises, but having a good understanding the foundation techniques is the key to being a successful marker trainer.

I hope this helps!
