08.01.2022 What is Marker Training? "Marker Training" is a simple way of saying 'training with a marker signal'. Using a marker signal is a science based teaching method where the marker identifies for the animal when it is doing the right thing (usually from a small noisemaker called a clicker but it could be a whistle, a tongue noise, a flashlight, a thumbs up, a verbal 'yes' or anything else that is consistent and stands out) . The marker is always followed by something the animal wantsusually a treat or a toy, but could be permission to go visit a person or another animal. He is likely to repeat the action.

03.01.2022 While no one questions the importance of having their dog sit and stay to wait for a bowl FULL of food, the concept of delivering that same food one piece at a ...time on a walk, at a coffee shop, or when visitors arrive really bothers a lot of people. Treats are cheap, plentiful, and portable. And, thankfully for us, they hold more value for our dogs than cash! Treats also allow for fast and frequent repetitions during a training session. Food is a primary reinforcer, meaning that, because dogs need it to survive, they don't have to learn how to like it. But reward-based training isn't all about food. Reward-based training is about rewarding the dog with something they want for behavior we want. We can start with food for fast and easy training, then integrate other rewards once he's acquired that behavior to fluency. Here's an example: I first trained Parker to make eye contact by rewarding him with food. I then practiced in a variety of environments, on walks, in classes, at shopping centers, around cats, all rewarding with high-value treats. Now, that behavior is very reliable and is his default when he's not sure what else to do. At this stage I can now reward that behavior with anything he wants at any given moment, including a kick of the soccer ball, presentation of a tug toy, permission to greet his grandma, and access into the backyard to chase the evil squirrel-beasts. I can also reward with treats, but they are now just one of five options available to me. When take Parker for a walk, I still take a handful of treats with me. Not because I use the treats to get him to do what I want, but because I want to continue to reward him for making good choices, like looking at me instead of reacting to a barking dog behind a fence. Since I can't drop his leash and kick the soccer ball down the street, treats are a practical reward choice. That doesn't mean I grab a treat and hold it by my eye, chanting "Watchmewatchmewatchme." Instead, I give him a moment to look at the dog, then capture the instant he chooses to look at me without any prompting. I capture the behavior when it happens rather than use the food to make it happen. As your dog's training becomes more reliable, you will also start to change the criteria that produces rewards, rewarding behaviors that are more precise or are held for periods of increasing duration. For example, at first you may reward your dog for targeting their mat. Over time, you will change the rewarding criteria to going to the mat and lying down, no longer rewarding sitting or standing on the mat. Your dog continues to learn, even after graduating from Alpha Masters Advanced Obedience School For Gifted Canines. WHAT he learns depends on you. Does he learn that good behavior only gets rewarded in a class setting, or does he learn that you reliably reward good behavior, regardless of the environment or level of distraction? That is what will determine his future behavior. Finally, if you're working with a dog who has fear, reactivity, or aggression issues, food, as a primary reinforcer, is how we can change a negative association to a positive. That's an association I want to keep strong, for the life of the dog. Food rewards also help us gauge our dog's level of stress during behavior modification. If a normally food-motivated dog suddenly stops eating in the presence of another dog or person, that's a big red flag that the dog is over-threshold and we need to remove him from the situation and re-evaluate before moving forward. BUTS "But what if I don't have food on me in an emergency?" As long as your dog has a long history of being rewarded by a treat that you present AFTER he's already come when called, he's not going to question whether or not there's a reward waiting for him when he gets to you, so he'll come running. You don't question that your boss is going to pay you on payday. As long as there's a history of that promise being fulfilled, you don't have to see the cash before you do your job.
