How to Build Consistent and Clear Communication With Your Dog

shades dogtraining.net: Can you share a little more about kind of how you build consistent and clear communication with your dogs right from the start? Yes, it basically it's location specific marker cues because I feel like we can dispense reinforcement in many different ways. So for instance, one of the things I want my puppy to learn early is how to settle. And I'm going to use a scatter of food, sniffing out food because that's a calmer reinforcement for my puppy than chasing a treat or something.
