I just released a new free e-book titled "LEARNING TO TRAIN WITH MARKERS - MARKING and SHAPING a BEHAVIOR http://leerburg.com/pdf/markers.pdf
Back in 2003 I wrote an article on marker training. Over the years we have learned from people like Michael Ellis (from Mondio Ring) Ann Braue (from Agility) and others. The old article needed a lot of updating. I did that this past week.
I think this e-book will be very helpful to new trainers. It's a fun way to teach your dog new tasks.
After the initial post I got a few PM's that resulted in a lot more information being detailed ib this e-book
I added a number of additional headings (I.E Placement of the REWARD - SCREW UP COOKIES - size of food rewards Etc etc etc) along with a bunch of photos.
To make it easier (for those who are not familiar with e-books) on the left hand side there is a "BOOKMARKS" tab. Click this as it shows the various topics or chapters http://leerburg.com/pdf/markers.pdf
Thanks Ed! You continue to be THE source for easy to find, easy to read, easy to understand information regarding dogs and dog training on the web. This E-book is great!
I meant to say in the post above- if there is a GREY ARE on this work that this article doesnt make clear - drop me a private email. If I have to reword or add some explanation I will.
