Re: [RC] spooking and punishment: LONG - Chris Paus--- "A. Perez" <walkergirl@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: exactly. chris (if its something like a tarp). Keys: 1. plan ahaed exactly what behavior you want to change 2. SHORT sessions to avoid burn-out. 3. raise the bar in VERY small increments- the goal is NOT to push the horse to the point where he can be corrected but to to have as many rewardable attempts as possible 4. if he back-slides, go back tot he beginning, well withint he envelope, and stay there for awhile before slowly 'raising the bar'. If he REALLY mlets down, take a few days off, swtiching to somethign he knwoes and is comfortable with before resuming the de=spooking training 4. Always start and end each session well within the 'comfort envelope' so as to start and end on a positive note. 5. Be lavish with praise/treats for really good attempts. ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= === message truncated === ===== "A good horse makes short miles," George Eliot Chris and Star BayRab Acres http://pages.prodigy.net/paus =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
