This is the first thing that I do with all of the dogs that come through here!
I’m constantly refining my process but this is a not negotiable in my training progression.
In this case I’m using a clicker but you can use any kind of marker, could be a whistle, a word or an action. You’re only limited by your imagination.
When the clicker creates ignition and becomes dynamite in the dog, then I will move on.
