Marker Based Obedience Training
Patrick Solomon
This is a
training style that is based on the reward system. You will
also use a keyword such as ‘yes’ or a clicker. The keyword or
clicker will then be followed by a reward. It is no longer
acceptable to scold your dog viciously if they do not respond to
a command. This will only serve to make your dog afraid of you
and will not help the dog obedience training. It is important
for you and your dog to have mutual respect during the training
process.
If you have a
good relationship with your dog then the training process will
run a lot more smoothly. If you have a good, trusting
relationship with your dog, then it will usually eliminate the
need for harmful learning tool. This can be choke chains or
pinch collars.
However, it is
important to start dog obedience training as soon as possible.
If your dog is still a puppy then this is the most ideal time.
It is during this time that their brains will be craving
information and they will have an intense desire to learn.
However, the process might become complex because puppies tend
to be much more excited than older dogs. But if you can
successfully train your puppy, then it will grow up to be a
smart, trustworthy dog.
When using
marker based dog obedience training, it is important to use a
reward that your dog responds well to. This could be a favorite
dog snack or anything that the dog craves. This will quickly
teach them that whenever they perform a task correctly, they
will be rewarded with a treat.
It has been
proven by professional dog trainers that this method works a lot
better than disciplining your dog. Instead of getting mad at
them when they do something wrong, praise them when they do it
right. Dogs are much smarter than we give them credit for, so
they will quickly figure out which is the right way to follow a
command. And their insatiable desire for treats will make them
want to learn even more. One thing to remember is that you want
your dog to trust you. This will make it a lot easier during
the training process so you need to establish trust with your
dog from a very early age. You can accomplish this by praising
them and never raising your voice in their direction.
