Re: [RC] shy bladder - Sarah McIntoshWhat I learned accidentally one time, when i was trail riding all day with my new horse, was this: I had to take a pee in the bushes, so I kept her with me. As soon as I was peeing, she peed too. I praised her profusely and after that, she knew it was OK. back to lurking!

He will poop in a shovel for her if she holds it behind him. You can also teach them to drink on command. Hang out with him at home and when he goes to pee say pee or whatever word you want, praise, pet and give him his favorite goody. You can use a clicker or tongue click but don't have to. Do this enough times for him to associate the word with the behavior. Then you can say the word before he starts to pee when you know he is thinking about it. Don't forget his favorite goody. Pretty soon he will pee when you give the cue word at home. When he does it at home consistently you can start doing it other places where he is fairly comfortable. It will take much less time than you think it will. Alexandra Kurland trained a mini for a seeing eye guide. Panda lives in the house and rings a bell to go out when she has to pee. She also rides in the back seat of a small car. She is potty trained to pee and poop on command. To see Panda go to the clickercenter.com. To see Justin and Jan go to http://tojustn.tripod.com/justintimefarm/. I taught my horse Francisco to sit on his own toilet. Watch for him on Pet Star. I also have instructions for hobble training on my site.
