We just started the marker training, since we had already started basic obedience with the yank and crank trainer and now we are changing to the marker training how should I approach commands we have already learned (sit,stay,heel ect.) Should I start from scratch to relearn with the markers or just continue on? The other trainer had us giving corrections right away to learn and Zeus does understand the commands they just need reinforced. I don't mind starting from the begining just wondering if I should stop corrections and just stick with learning commands we have already worked on.

Absolutely agree with Jason.
I'd read this and then grab some high-value treats:
Thanks, yes I have been reading the article, just wasn't sure what to do with things we already learned. Zeus has taken to the markers pretty quick, so I think this is going to be a better method then we were doing. We had many dominance battles doing it the other way and he seems more calm and able to focus when not getting yanked on a choke chain repeatedly.
