I'm confused about the release in marker training, can you please explain it briefly?
Full Question:
Hello,I have read the article on marking training and have seen some training videos on your site and on a video I ordered from Leerburg. I'm confused about the release. If I use the word yes for marking, is yes also the release? On one of the videos I saw a puppy being taught marker training and there was no talk about it. And on another video it explained the release command. Can you explain briefly please. Thank you.
Cindy's Answer:
The marker (whether it's YES or a clicker) is also the release. It marks the exact moment the dog did what you wanted, so you MARK it and that tells the dog he's free to now access his reward. That's the power of it.
I'd highly recommend The Power of Training Dogs with Markers. It explains all of this in more detail than I can in an email.
