yes, when its butt is exactly where it's supposed to be, mark it, not until. The same with down, or any command, dont mark it until the pup is exactly where you want him. Instead of "yes" I use "good" or "gooood" as my mark, but in beginning I may say "good sit" as a mark & bridge telling the dog 'I like what you did, sit' the better & faster the dog gets, proving it really understands the command, then I drop the reinforcement & just say "good"
The 'mark' is whats important, your verbal confirmation as quick as possible, then the food reward can be 2 or 3 seconds later.
although the faster you get the reward in thier face the faster they will react over time.
ya Really need to take a look at the power of training with food dvd, it is a complete marker training school.
It has a whole bunch of using food as the lure to move your dog into different places/positions. Its quite awesome. But ya gotta watch it a bunch of times, take notes to lol
If you are training the way Cindy trains in the video with Rush about using negative markers rather than corrections, then "yes" is your release word to mark, and "good" is a duration mark. A duration marker might be useful in a really cold situation because you may want the dog to hold the behavior long enough for you to have the treat ready.
You may want to watch that clip, Dennis. The use of "good" opposed to "yes" is very clear in that video.

I'm gonna back up this suggestion to RC Dennis, who may be marker training perfectly, but who may not be translating it to type well.
I'm not jumping on you, RC Dennis, but I don't want anyone new to be trying marker training based on either of your kind of confusing posts here.

For example, you wouldn't really use good sit as an intermediate bridge and good as a terminal bridge (mark). And goooood might well be an intermediate bridge, but you refer to it as your mark.

Yes, I've heard that. JK. Yes, it's a great video.
Again, RC Dennis, maybe your work is great and it's the terminology that's off, but it's confusing to read your posts. Can I hook you up with some terms and definitions on the LB site?
