Struggling to get your dog to listen? Try this! šāØ
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! šø 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! What's the one command you're working on with your pup right now?
