Today's Q&A

How do I transition my dog from a clicker to the marker word "YES" ?

I have been clicker training with my dog for some time now. My dog responds very well and is ready to get her reward after the click. I was hoping to transition to the marker word “yes.” How would you suggest going about shifting from the clicker marker to the marker work “yes.” Should I just “yes” and reward several times a day to get her accustomed to the marker word or is there more to it than that? Thank you so much for everything you share. Have a great day!

Today's Question

Cindy's Answer

Since your dog already understands the concept of click/reward then it should be easy for her to transition to a verbal marker. I would do a few sessions as you described, Yes-reward, Yes-reward, etc until you see her show the readiness for the reward. It should go quickly and as soon as you see she's understanding you could introduce easy behaviors that you know she enjoys to expand on that.
