A communication system between you and your dog.
Reward Based Training
Marker training came to the world of dog training back in 1993. Before that point dogs were trained in the “yank and crank” system of dog training. Basically the William Kohler style of avoidance training.
Our new online course on The Power of Training Dogs with Markers was released in January of 2024. Back in 2005 Ed Frawley, the owner of Leerburg, released his first DVD on the subject of Markers and Reward Based Training (also called clicker training).
While the conceptual information in that old DVD is still accurate today, the past 20 years have seen our knowledge of how to apply markers and reward-based training become the gold standard on dog training.
This course includes 30 instructional videos and 52 student videos. This makes this online course more like going to a seminar where the instructor explains the training steps and then students work with their own dogs.
When the concepts in this course become the foundation of a training program we see the relationship between dogs and handlers improve and our dogs look forward to our training sessions because training becomes fun.

By Pamela J Reid Ph.D.
"I made my way to your website and classes because one of my three golden retrievers ran out of our yard and tried to attack a dog jogging down the road with its owner. I am currently taking your online class on dog aggression. This incident made me realize that I needed to do a lot of work with my dogs. After watching several segments of the aggression course I decided to start my dog training back at the beginning with this marker course.
The first thing I am learning is how little I know about training dogs! But I am excited about what I am learning from your classes and I am motivated to teach my dogs while I am learning as well. I started on charging the marker YES with all three of my dogs a few days ago and they all love it. I have noticed a difference in all of our attitudes. I have taken many notes on this class and know I will be referring back to them and will probably be watching some of these segments again.
I appreciate your common sense approach to dog training and the fact that you make it fun and exciting for the trainer and the dog(s). I am grateful for all the information - we needed it. I look forward to taking more of your online classes.
Beth"
