marker training

Just curious as to why you guys dont use marker training. Any thoughts?

When you say marker training are you referring to clicker training. You can use a verbal marker such as good boy/girl, good or yes.
Clicker training can be easily substituted for a verbal marker in phase 1 training.

I figured it was marker training with a good boy/girl. Just some people out here in california take it so much further; ie; you have to use a short sharp word such as "yes!" otherwise the desired behavior isnt captured, or a clicker, and they use primary and secondary reinforcers, etc.
