Re: [RC] At the end of my rope.. - Dolores Arste

I love Clinton Anderson. But, since I'm not 6' tall or 25 years old, I can't
DO the things he does. In order to jump onto the horse, I first have to
teach it to stand by a mounting block :) I've found that combining Anderson
and the clicker is an ideal way to go. Break it down, go slow, be clear and
you've got it.

In fact, combining the clicker with ANY good horsemanship technique you use
will get you faster results with a more thinking, receptive and less
reactive horse.

BTW, you can't do clicker training wrong. You always get what you reinforce. 
So, if you are getting something you don't want look at how its being 
reinforced. Then, either stop reinforcing it or reinforce something else to 
take its place.
