If dogs can have a sense of fairness isn't it likely horses do too? http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/12/08/AR2008120801438.html ...
On the lighter side... Why Santa doesn't use horses to pull his sleigh... The question finally had to be asked? Why does Santa use reindeer instead of horses...

Hi Elaine, Yes, please ask questions. We'll all answer as best we can. You have stated the difference between between C/T fear and CAT fear. When you write...
Hi Dolores, I hope it's ok to ask questions here! If not, I guess you'll let me know. Where I get stuck is in the example of Kellie and the roach, if my mother...
Hello Laurel ! I come just back from my first CAt try and there are lots of questions. Cookie was free, lYdi too, they stand at the hay-gate. I come in by the ...
I am slightly confused - might be the way I am interpreting what Doris has said, but it did not seem to me that she applied CAT - there was no distance given...

Dear Dolores, Laurel and all , Thank you very much to invite me to join your group. I know, my English is a bit pityful, and I'm dyslexic (legasthenic) too. So...

Hi Julie, From your background stuff, as Gracie is also reactive to you I would actually be inclined to just start with yourself as decoy. Don't separate ...

Be careful of falling into the desensitizing trap. From what I read here you took steps forward without retreating. And, you may not have predetermined the...
Hi Julie, You did a great job for a first timer with CAT. You asked how many times you should repeat. You must repeat until you are consistently getting active...
Hi Julie ! Hi laurel ! Oh, I feel with you and Grace, My friend Agnes is back in the States and she will buy the Cat DVDs. Doris bellum gerant alii , tu felix...

Jedda was very relaxed in the pen, and producing small affiliative behaviours at around 3 feet, so we introduced the decoy putting her hand out at an increased...
Hi all, Session 13, 31 minutes. Back to original set up, 3m x 3m pen, horse at liberty, same decoy. We 'dropped' the extended hand also, for now. There is...
