I understand it to be loading the marker. For each positive motion in the direction you want the dog to go is given a "yes" and a treat. When each motion is chained together into a definite action consistently, then you name it.

In a nutshell....you don't name the position/motion whatever, until is is executed the way that you want to see it as a finished command. When that happens repetedly, then you name it with a command name. In other words, after you shape the position or lure into the position you want to see as a final position & you can do it repetedly, then you put a name to it. Then give the command & lure or signal a bit at first if needed to get it on command then mark & reward. Then loose the signal or lure as quickly as possible & then just give the command & mark when the dog obeys the command & reward.
ETA....you can use yes or any other word that you choose for the marker word.

Oh, gotcha. Yes, as Anne says, why name a command that isn't being performed the way you want it? Name it when you love it so that when you ask for it by name, the dog knows the perfected behavior to give.

Mariellena, How old is your dog? I have been reading an article name Canine Adolescence by Melissa Alexander. There is a quote I love "All social mammals go through adolescence. Nature demands it". So if your dog is less than seven months, we will have a chance of rearing again. Dan

Dan, I was speaking with tongue in cheek. Dog training would have come in very handy when I was raising my now 28 and 24 year old human children. I think it would have made the job easier and more fulfilling for all of us. Really.
