Thank you both of you. This really helps Madeleine "We can not solve the problems that we have created with the same thinking that created them." Albert...
Tanya, It may help you to know that I too am somewhat uncomfortable with "contact". However, as time goes on and you stick with it, you will find that your...
Hi Madeleine, You have gotten great feedback. The only thing I would add is that if I am shaping and some clicks are off but the horse is essentially playing...
Hi guys, At chicken camp Bob Bailey told us not to feed after a 'bad' click but instead go bang your head on the wall :-) Maybe this works only on chickens!...
... Sounds like it would be very effective on me (the handler) but wouldn't do much for my horses. :) So far, like Katie, I've gone ahead and given a small...
Sorry, list, can't find my private addresses, so have to go over the list. Ilse, could you please contact me? There is Barb in Southern Ontario who wants...
... OK now I am curious. Any idea why you tend to spiral in? I was trying to envision this to see how I would counteract it and I find I can't imagine it. Even...
... Another thought to add to Katies reply, if I click and the horse snarks or paws, I will quickly ask for a step back, and give the reward after the step....
Dear all Someone sent me this as an example of a horse dancing. It's certainly fascinating to watch. In the beginning, I *hated* the way she was flagging her...
Hi Yvonne, Regretfully I am a few thousand kilometers away from Ontario and I don't really know any clicker trainers in that area. Maybe someone else on this...
A few years ago, when we were just beginning, I would work at liberty, and when she leaned in, I would wait until she seemed straighter to me to click. ...
Hi Dolores, Thank you for your feedback and encouragement! It reminded me of dancing: you want your partner to be light, but not too airy, because then you...
Hmmmm Tanya and other short persons. That head elevation thing..... If you have Alex's 3 flip 3 DVD you'll notice her speaking to Julie about Harvey going too ...
Hi everyone, This is such a touching story I had to share it with someone: http://www.quantumshift.tv/v/1178084064/ Quantumshift.tv is a brand new internet tv...
I apologize right at the start, my life has been out of control, it's foaling season and I just started a new job... so I missed the first post, looked for it...

This is off our topic of behavior chains. I have seen some video clips of horses side passing *toward* the handler or doing haunches in. I was wondering...
Thanks Elaine - that's kind of what I worked on today - walking not paying too much attention to geography, but clicking when her shoulder lifted a bit. It...
Hi Melissa & Ruby... It IS hard to conceptualize for most folks, I think. Well, I should only speak for myself... it was hard for me when I started trying to...
Hi Lore, I had taught Ogeechee to sidepass towards me and I can explain how I did it (I might have done it in one of my posts already, I don't remember). I...

... That sounds like how I did it. The hip for me also got too BIG a step and he would bump in to me. I started to hold my hand out and gently touch him when...
Hello All, There is a discussion thread back in February 2007 about sidepassing toward the handler. You just type "sidepass" in the search window, and it comes...
How do you work teaching the horse to target to your hand if the horse is already done Parelli games where it has been taught to move *away* from the touch or...
I've been bouncing a conundrum in my head that I can't reconcile so perhaps someone can give me some thoughts. In reading Alex's books and also John Lyons ...
I was hoping Alex would pipe in on this one but I know she is busy. You can certainly do this with targeting. But let me offer you another solution which IMHO...
