—————RESOURCES—————

There are TONS of articles about using your voice and markers (or bridges). Here are three I really love:

“Barking up the Wrong Tree” article by Dr. Ian Dunbar

This excellent article goes into much more depth than my video and even covers other tidbits like instructive reprimands and using food correctly.

Syn Alia Training Systems with Kasey Cover

Kasey Cover has been training animals since 1973. There is some great info here and some freebies if you poke around enough!

“The Power of Training Dogs with Markers” by Ed Frawley of leerburg.com
leerburg.com/markers.htm
This is a pretty long and technical article, but it is VERY thorough. There are a few hiccups where incorrect terminology is used, and there are some bits I personally do differently, but that’s just splitting hairs; it’s a hell of an article, and you will learn a lot from it.
