In this workshop we will start by creating or refining the marker system you use to communicate with your dog.

The Markers we will create: Positive reinforcement direct reward from handler, positive reinforcement indirect reward on handler, positive reinforcement direct reward in environment, postive reinforcement indirect reward in environment, negative punishment marker, positive punishment marker.

Communication Tools we will cover: Using the ecollar as an activator, slip leash, prong collar, flat collar, harnesses, flexi leads, bungee leads, nose halters, and dominant dog collars.

Once we have established markers and proficiency with various communication tools, we will discuss the practical applications of using this ‘language’ to train our dogs.
