He's difficult to catch after turnout.

I ask her to touch it, then click and treat. It seems to assure her that things aren't as scary and she gets treat. I think it takes their mind away from scary and on to good(food).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02168070368360018750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600848821664468225.post-2202025156818368342014-05-28T13:37:57.950-07:002014-05-28T13:37:57.950-07:00Last night I was talking to the cowboy whose been ...Last night I was talking to the cowboy whose been working my trainer's western horse. His method for teaching trailering was pretty interesting and I let him do some of the ground work on Ramone (who is good to get on and so far we're just letting the big lug unload himself.)

I've never used a clicker, but I know that when my horse gets uptight and panicky about something, the best thing I can do is interrupt her and show her a different option/solution. Maybe the clicker was that interruption to get her from panicky to thinking again. :)Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09663927549661433575noreply@blogger.com
