Read the article titled Training With Markers.
Its really too involved to give you a step by step explanation by email, but if you start conditioning your dog to markers and then teach a touch pad (I use a rubber horse feed pan turned upside down)
You can see a sample of this piece of the training here at about 2:54 into this video. Iām conditioning my 4 month old puppy to put his feet on something. I can later use that as my target for the send away.
You can also visit our forum. Here is a specific topic with discussion on send away training.
I hope this helps!
