Hi, I am watching the marker training video and I am very impressed. My GSD is almost 5 months old. I watched the puppy 3-8 months first and taught her how to touch and go to a pad and stand on with with markers about a month ago and she picked it up right away, like 5 times each. I was wondering if there is an order of what things to train a puppy with markers that work the best for them or should I get the training video next to explain?
I just wrote a review on a new book we carry here at Leerburg that may interest you, it's really good at explaining the marker/clicker system in great detail and how to avoid common pitfalls.

Oh, one more thing. My husband trained our first dog. I am training this one. She does the basics: sit, down, off, come, speak, shake, touch, fetches a ball and puts it in my hand, but what else should I train her to do? I have not idea! I wanted to get an idea from others who marker trained what their puppies liked the most in training other than the basics. I don't want a board puppy.
What is sit up? What is play dead? Is rolling over good for a big breed dog? I heard their stomachs can turn...is that true or a myth?
She does love to jump up and touch.
Sit up is the begging position. Back legs in a sit and the front held up off the ground with the dog in a vertical position.
Play dead is the dog laying on its side like it is sleeping.
All of my dogs roll over on their own so it is not something I worry about in general.
Stomachs can twist while “bloating.” This is called “bloat with torsion” and is very, very bad. I have never heard of a dog’s stomach twisting in normal play or training.
*I have heard of horses twisting a gut if they become stall bound and panic, thrashing around and in an unnatural position. Never a dog though.
