Ridecamp: Re: [RC] spooking: Dog VS Horse Training

Is this training also applicable to husbands and men in general?  Oh the
possibilities, "yes darling you do need more horses," click, click.

Just kidding, but it may be worth a try if it truely works on any species.

"Dog training and horse training are two separate things altogether. Some
things are similiar but one is a predator, one is prey. They act different
cause they are different. Dogs are driven by food/and/or love stimulus."

Not entirely.  The book I refered to, "Don't Shoot the Dog", is NOT, despite
it's title, about dog training: it is about operant conditioning/positive
reinforcement and how it can be used for all species, including humans.  The
author, Karen Prior, started off training dolphins.
  Many people have applied 'clicker training' (another name for the
technique) to horses: see the book "Clicker Training Your Horse".  I'm
posting this because I really don't want people to skip over this great book
because they think it is just a dog training book - it isn't!  And the
techniques is applicable to all species.
