Joe Waddington Webboard User Reg: 09-02-2009 Posts: 581 Loc: Ca Offline	I wanted to start using the marker training concept I am reading about on this site. It mentions using the word yes as the mark and also as the release. I have been working and training my dog for the past year using a release command and the word I use is "break" How do you think it would work using "yes" as the mark and keep the release command she knows so well "break"?

The marker itself means the command is over. Duration can be added more than one way (such as an intermediate bridge), but the terminal bridge (the mark) means the command has been fulfilled and is over.
