What a great post, Delwyn! I love the way you have this all broken down. I especially like you you begin with head lowering and slowly add slices of other ...
Hi May, I am sorry that I haven't responded to your question but we have been very busy traveling and just now am I getting caught up on emails. You asked what...
... Hi May, My psychologist friend says to her knowledge there is unfortunately nothing written on PTSD and horses. However, much of the treatment she outlined...
Hi again May, The "dangerous horse" question and the thread about PTSD reminded me of something I learned with John-horse (Saddlebred gelding) several years ...
I'm hoping some of you might have some insight. Since returning from Alex's clinic a few weeks ago here in Alvin, Tx, my horse has been extremely aggressive...
Hi Everyone, It's been ages since I've sent anything to the list. I haven't disappeared down a rabbit hole. I've been nose to grindstone working on not one,...
... Just beau-ti-ful, Alex! Thanks a lot for sharing! Yvonne ************************************************************** Be kind to your breasts - buy a...
those of you doing TAG, can you tell me (Nick?) where you got the little "pinger" that you were using to do the tag points? I want to start playing around...
... Had the same problem with the horses so asked Teresa. The ping comes from a "clicker +" which is an electronic clicker. (Google and you shall find) I got...
Here's the link to the clicker plus: http://www.clickertraining.com/store/?item=traininggear I've had a little bit of success using the "ping", but I've found...
... Interesting on the focus point, this ties back in with a Mary Wanless question that I ask a rider who is getting good results but struggling to keep them...
Hi again, Just a quick update on how my boy and I are going for those of you who have been following us. I'm cross posting this so sorry to those who will see...
HI all: I keep Jodie at a friend's who has a lot of contacts in the serious horse world around here...fox hunting, eventing, dressage, etc., and she has told...
Hi Kathy, I've used CT, up 'til now anyway, purely on an as-needed basis. I taught one horse how to wear a blanket, taking it off and putting it on over his...
... Hi Laurie: Oh, that's good to know. Do you feel you set up any expectations in the horse that he'd be clicked or treated in performing any other behaviors ...
Kathy, Looking back on it, I don't think I set the horses up for unmet expectations. But I might have. I definitely phased out CT for the blanket issue. When...
Keri, good points. Some of the TAG points will involve the animal though (e.g. tagging the owner just for noticing a certain change in their dog's behavior or...
... This is very helpful, Laurie. I'll pass it on. When I thought about it, I was convinced it could work for "spot" training, but wanted to be sure there was...
Hi Kathryn, I think there is a huge variation in how people use clicker training and it would be interesting to have some kind of numbers. I suspect there are...
... Katie, you've expressed my basic concerns exactly. I know my friend "gets" it, because she's already a good horseperson and has seen me in action with...
Hi Kathryn, I am glad my reply was helpful. I think you brought up a good and important subject and I am glad that Laurie jumped in and shared her experiences...
... Me too, although my contact with others is limited, but I expect that to pick up considerably now that I'm almost semi-retired and will be out and about...
It is certainly possible to use clicker training selectively. I think the main thing the 'circumstantial' clickers will miss out on is the horse offering...
... Cynthia, I absolutely agree and have explained that to Mary, but I'm glad you pointed it out because it bears repeating. ... This is an excellent point. My...
