Clicker Training
Clicker training is a very powerful communication tool that uses a marker signal and will motivate your horse without escalating pressure. You can have a horse that actively participates in the learning process. Clicker Training is based on proven behavioral science and is the most effective and gentle training method for all animals, especially horses. It is used by professional horse trainers as well as Olympic riders.
B. F. Skinner, the world-famous psychologist, proved through his experiments that an animal rewarded for good behavior will learn much more rapidly and retain what it learns far more effectively than an animal punished for bad behavior!
With clicker training you can get your horse to do such things as as:
- easily accept the bridle
- standing still for mounting
- come to the mounting block to pick you up
- stand for the farrier
- load in the trailer
- back with a soft feel
- sidepass
- de-spooking
- laying down
- verticle flexion
- ground tie
- stop and stand still
- trot nicely beside you for halter classes
- gain confidence which helps to control their fear
- It is great for teaching Horse Agility
and so much more.
