ok I read the article. I'm not sure I understand??
I have always read to say Good Sit, Good Potty, Good Kennel up etc. So basically good and said very nicely with whatever command.
But this one says to teach a command with just yes and then add the command.
I assume this is not for the potty?
So right now I should use yes not sit? When teaching him how to sit? Once he knows how to sit then I add sit and when he touches his butt to the ground say yes?
If I am having to push his tush down then I put it down say yes when it hits the floor then after I say yes give a treat while I'm still holing him down?
Since I have already started training and saying sit. Can I just use sit and yes once he does it instead of good sit?
And since the marker is supposed to be with reward do I just not use the marker when I dont have a reward? Or did I misread that?

Lovella,
I've been trying to pick up Ed's DVD's from Ebay but the auctions go up all the way to full price. As soon as I am gainfully employed, I'm just going to have to spring for retail.
Sure would be nice to see several puppy DVD's go up for auction here. *** hint *** hint ***
From what I understand, you should issue command, say "Sit", as soon as his butt hits the ground say your marker "Good", followed with petting, good boy, etc, treat.
The idea is the marker tells the dog he's done well. The treat reinforces this and can then be faded out easily.
You are confusing the dog by preceeding the commands with "good". You may have to start over as he will need to learn the commands again.
