Master Dog Training with Treats: 5 Tips from Our Basic Marker Mastery™ Program
Want to teach your dog to “Sit” or “Come” without stress? Treat-based dog training is the key, and our Basic Marker Mastery™ program at Off Leash K9 Training, Georgia makes it simple for Atlanta owners. Here are five expert tips from our trainers to get you started.
1. Choose High-Value Treats
Dogs love rewards like small bits of chicken or cheese. In Basic Marker Mastery™, we teach you to use treats your dog can’t resist, ensuring they stay focused during training sessions in Atlanta’s busy parks.
2. Time Your Rewards Perfectly
Reward your dog the moment they perform a command, like sitting. Our trainers, with diverse backgrounds from grooming to teaching, show you how to pair treats with a clicker for instant feedback, a core part of our 4-week course.
3. Start Small, Build Big
Begin with easy commands like “Sit” before progressing to “Place.” Basic Marker Mastery™ structures sessions to build confidence, equipping owners with a slip lead and 15-foot leash for real-world practice.
4. Involve the Whole Family
Training works best when everyone’s on board. We focus on teaching you, the owner, to reinforce commands at home, ensuring consistency whether you’re in Smyrna or Macon.
5. Keep It Fun
Force-free training is about joy, not pressure. Our clicker-based approach makes learning a game, strengthening your bond with your dog.
