I know alot of you are saying that is for pets aand not working dogs,but I'm here to tell you that it can be a very useful tool even with working dogs.
This form of training is very helpful when trying to correct a wrong,correct a command call when you previously used a different command.It is also helpful getting a dog over anxity or problems with something the animal was trained and previously did with no problem.
There are some great training tapes and books on the subjects availible everywhere,the internet,bookstores,pet stores and my favorite is leerburg.com/markers.
If your having problems training your dog to to a certain task,check out this training method,I'm sure you will be amazed at the results you can achieve.

College for canine knowledge--These dogs have been trained to take at command the markers bearing their names. Miss Hartsiik is proud when they reach this stage in their training. The animals can do this even when markers are not in front of them. The training course is ten weeks and it must be attendedby the dog's owner, too. Undated photograph.Miss Harsiik is the trainer.These dogs can do this even when the markers are not in front of them.
