Matt,
Do you mean purely motivational, or did you mean purely positive? I taught one of my dogs a negative marker by using the word no, (which was still motivational) and I also taught her a sound that sounds like blowing air like a bad whistle that was actually tied directly to a correction.
Do you mean a verbal "Ah ah ha" if you're getting something other than what you asked for?
Yes.. For example...When I tell my dog to down and his elbows are not totally on the deck I will say a nice, calm "no". He will then drop them back down at which time he gets his "Yes" marker followed by a release and a reward.
Very similar to Matt's although I wont reward if I have to use a negative marker (Nope!) to get the dog in position. I'll give a bridge (quiet "good")) to indicate getting it correct. but the actual marker and reward wont come unless it's right the first time.
The dog learns the negative marker by the tone of your voice. No loading is necessary.
I've always started with vocal markers but I see no reason not to start with a clicker then change to vocal other then it being another step to fade out.
As mentioned above, the clicker may be better for someone with a bit less timing.

Thanks Amber for clarifying what I was trying to explain! I need to get familiar with some of the clicker training terminology to explain myself a little better in this regard.
Mike.. I’m talking about using all motivation and no correction to do some problem solving…… I’m going to make up a new thread tonight on the issue.
That's why I specifically chose something which began with a hard, crisp, consonant. "G'boy", which sounds like "kuhboy". But I'm sure it's just the "kuh" which matters anyway.
