Hi Jord-Ann, I am curious.How do you teach targeting? Can you just describe how you handle the target (what you use, how you present etc..) and how you handle...

Great description Jord-ann. The horse gets a real feeling of the connection and control which I feel is extremely important. I remember Isle describing Bob...

I take a large cone, usually set on the ground where the horse can easily touch it - >. this may be one difference. If I was teaching a targeting exercise with...
... They CAN'T? LOL! Waiting for the horse to give a coroner's report on one oat isn't efficient training. Have you seen Karen Pryor's intro video to clicker ...
