Struggling to get your dog to listen? Try this! 🐕✨
Ever feel like you're repeating "sit, sit, SIT!" without any results? The secret isn't saying it louder, but making the reward faster!
Today's Tip: The Power of the "Yes!" Marker A "marker" (like a clicker or a specific word) tells your dog exactly the moment they did the right thing. It bridges the gap between the action and their reward.
How to start:
1. Grab some high-value treats (the good stuff!).
2. The moment your dog's bottom hits the floor for a sit, say "YES!" in a bright, happy voice.
3. Immediately follow it with a treat.
You're not saying "yes" as a command; you're using it as a camera shutter, capturing the behavior you want to see more of! 📸
Why it works: It creates crystal-clear communication. Your dog learns: Butt on Floor = "Yes!" = Treat. This makes learning faster and less frustrating for everyone!
