You Don’t Have to Reward Your Dog Instantly #DogTraining #NateSchoemer Once your dog understands a marker like “yes,” you don’t always have to rush to deliver the reward immediately. The important part is maintaining your dog’s focus throughout the reward event. If your dog stays engaged after hearing the marker, they understand that the reward is still coming. But once their attention breaks, whether it’s a squirrel, another distraction, sniffing, or anything else, we’ve lost that connection. Markers help bridge the gap between the behavior and the reward, especially when you can’t physically reward your dog within the first second.
