🐶Positive Marker: A positive marker is a word used to tell your dog that they’ve done something right. Yes, will be the marker that I teach you and your dog. Your dog will learn that saying yes will follow with praise and a treat!

🐶Negative Marker: This is used to tell your dog that they have done exactly what you’re asking. “Ah Ah” will be used as a negative marker.

🐶Release Word: Ok is the release word that will be used. A release word is essential when wanting to teach duration. Using a release word teaches a dog that they may be done with a command.
