How to train without a clicker- dog training

How to use my tutorials without a clicker- dog training tricks

This video goes over how you can use a marker word instead of using a clicker to train your dog. Even if you do use a clicker with your dog, it is a great idea to have a marker word that works in the same way as the clicker for when you want to train when you forgot your clicker or perhaps you need both of your hands for other reasons. I use a marker word very often to train new freestyle behaviors because either my hands need to be close to my dogs head or I am using both of them. Using a marker word for handling is also a great idea, as you will need one hand to hold the treats and the other hand to touch the dog with. Sigh, if only we had three hands!

oh you are so not used to live in Sweden with that naked neck :)

[kikopup]

@AntiChrizt haha, yes, I have never worn anything around my neck, as I lived in Africa and California so I find it oppressive. I guess ill get used to it

This works well for me because I keep loosing clickers! Thank you for all your vids you have helped me so much. I am having so much trouble teaching my little Rat Terrier to cross his legs. How do you get them to target across?

[kikopup]

@imaiken1 Keep trying different things, you can also try getting your dog to target your hand instead of a target- and if you lay your hand over the other leg that is not supposed to cross, it can help the dog to know which paw to cross if the dog is confused

Hi, your videos, presentation, brevity and just the graciousness you are sharing all of your knowledge is wonderful. Thank you sooooooooooo much. Can i ask you, were on your site can I find the best A-to-Z on training my dog to do 'Freestyle' moves (i.e., back up, spin, etc)? I paid to have someone help with it here in Asia but, was disappointmented. Asia just doesn't have the expertise found in Europe or Northern America

@tadbubs Kay Laurence has a great book I believe its called Dances with Dogs and Mary Rays freestyle books are also great! :)

If I use both the clicker and marker word (only for tricks where I need both my hands), do I need to charge my marker word before using it?

Can i use a whistle as marker word?

Patricia McConnell says that "yes" sounds like a predatory animal to many dogs. The "sss" sound sounds like a snake. Ever since I heard her say this in a seminar I switched to "good dog!". McConnell nowadays is using "click". Yes, she verbally says "click". lol.

I love your dogs. Oh and the video was good too. :)
