Your Dog Doesn't Know What "No" Means—Reward Markers And Punishment Markers
Knowing how to properly mark behavior is critical to being effective and efficient! Your dog is the master at discovering patterns, and that means details matter. Your minor inconsistencies will translate into pattern disruptions that throw your dog off and drag out the process.
