Rob Maltese Webboard User Reg: 03-21-2014 Posts: 123 Loc: Connecticut Offline	I was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction for a video on training in drive and how to properly reward with a toy? Axle is very ball driven, was thinking of getting him one of those ball on a rope with a tee handle from EliteK9 to praise & train with.

Rob Maltese Webboard User Reg: 03-21-2014 Posts: 123 Loc: Connecticut Offline	No, I assume marker training is different from clicker training - we recently sent our dog to professional in-board training for 4 weeks. Another question I didn't see a point of starting an additional thread was, the trainer sent him home with an eCollar & a medium prong, after speaking with Cindy via email she suggested going to the small prong collar, he is a 10 mo American Staffordshire Terrier (pitbull) obviously with short hair, the question is - do we need to reintroduce the prong collar when changing sizes? Do the effects/corrections change (ie are they stronger, weaker?).

Make sure you buy a good quality one though, like these: http://leerburg.com/hermsprenger_stainlesssteel_prongcollars.htm The cheaper brands will weaken in a couple different places and it will either break or just come apart at the wrong time. Marker training is basically clicker training. This is older, but I think there's some good stuff on this: http://leerburg.com/101e.htm

"Marker training is basically clicker training." Yup. Clicker training is marker training using a clicker as the marker (many people use a verbal marker). Balls on ropes: http://leerburg.com/balls.htm http://leerburg.com/788.htm http://leerburg.com/1205.htm Ellis marker videos: http://leerburg.com/ellisdvds.htm The Leerburg video that preceded the Ellis videos (and which is an intro to markers): http://leerburg.com/219.htm The usual order of the Ellis videos would start with Power of Food, then Power of Tug.

I also disagree with the trainers advice to stack the collars in a manner where the prong is between the nylon id collar & ecollar nearest to the ears. Upon much research particularly here the pinch is supposed to be fitted snug behind the ears following the jaw line. I do wish there was someone local that was knowledgeable that could give me a good fit.
