Want more clarity in your communication with your dog?
Are you feeling like your reinforcement is good, but not GREAT? And what’s with those Location Specific Marker Cues that everyone is talking about-are they really necessary?
Let’s take those marker cues and explain them as they really are-reinforcement cues. A verbal cue that tells your dog exactly what they are getting, and where and how to get it. And then another verbal cue that tells your dog the different thing they are getting and how to access that thing! And then another and another. One that means chase the treat, one that means bite the toy, one that means sniff out the handful of treats on the ground.
I’ve got an hour long presentation where I explain why this might benefit your communication system with your dog and how to implement these reinforcement strategies. Reinforcement is what drives behavior, and I think we should spend the majority of our training time exploring reinforcement, and how to make it cleaner and clearer.
Here’s a short glimpse of the presentation!

Sign up here to receive that marker cue presentation, as well as other offerings, information on workshops, seminars, and on line classes. I’ve got several projects in the works that I’m really excited about!
Excited to learn more! I’ve seen them in action with a visiting Nosework student. It was awesome to watch it in use. I was excited to commend the student and then guess where she learned them from…I guessed right!! From you!!!
That’s awesome to hear! I’m definitely not the first person to do this, I learned from some of the best!
Looking forward to it!
