Thanks, Kathy! And I'll raise my glass to everything you said too. How we used horses when we were young and everything else. It's good that we now have a...
Hats off to you!! I think how you use clicker training at the shows is indeed a terrific promotion for it! Don't put yourself in the category of people I was...
Laurel, Condolences first, on Tessa. I'm so sorry. Losing a dog or any pet is so very difficult. Your work with Jedda on her mouth and bit really sounded big...
Hi everyone, I wanted to share my experience at Clicker Expo 2008 so I wrote this article for my web site. I thought it might be of interest to list members,...

Hi Elaine and Lottie, I am glad you enjoyed reading about the Expo. I had a great time and this expo really connected some pieces for me. I am going to play...
Hi Susan, Sure, you can send anyone to my web site <smile>. I don't know much about search and rescue work or police dogs but from various conversations and...
Hi Muriel, It sounds like Duque might benefit from some lateral suppling, more so than longitudinal work. You could use targeting or give to the bit work to...
Katie, I'd just like to add my thanks for your excellent report. There is SO much information in it, and you write so clearly. I'm unlikely to get to a...

Dear Melissa, Having been through it with my own horses, I can appreciate the challenge of a horse sticking to velcro to your side when you want them to go...
CAthy, what evidence did he have to support that bending the neck was a bad thing? I am just curious as to whether this was mostly opinion (not that I am...
Lore, I'll send him an email and ask for some more detail, he's very approachable. Unfortunately I never noted the name of the person he was referring to...
You will find that there are people opposed to lateral flexing a horse. Usually in the dressage venue becuz they are looking for straightness and feel that too...
