Excellent Training Book!, July 20 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Clicker Training for Your Horse (Paperback)
I LOVE this book! I've read it at least a dozen times and my horse loves me for it! You can use ANY method of horse training with this including Parelli, or Lyons, etc. But first and foremost this book is the absolute best peice of training equiptment I've ever bought. A lot cheaper than the constant search for the bit, saddle, bridle, training device...etc. BUY this book and you will NOT regret it. Also if you like this book you may also want to get "Don't Shoot the Dog" by Karen Pryor which deals with the same principals of training. Only it's not a step by step manual.Thank you Alexandra Kurland.Oh, you can even find out more about clicker training by going to clickryder.com

Fantastic training manual for every horse owner, Mar 21 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Clicker Training for Your Horse (Paperback)
My horses thrive on the training program described in Clicker Training for Your Horse. The book is very clear cut on how to set up a training program for success, no matter what your experience is with horses--beginner or long time owner. I became more clear in my directions to my mare and she began understanding what I actually wanted. She became more confident and successful with every exercise I did. I don't have training help, so this book pretty much saved me from turning this mare into a broodmare. She now enjoys the tasks I ask of her, and is a joy to ride. Over the winter, I taught her and her pasture mate how to play with a large blue rubber ball. Before, the sight alone of the ball would have sent her packing.. what a joy to see her run up to it and push it back to me!!!!!! I recommend this book for every horse owner!!!!

An excellent training tool for your horse!, April 18 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Clicker Training for Your Horse (Paperback)
I purchased this book shortly after I got my 2 year old Tennessee Walking Horse filly. It has been a marvelous tool! When I followed the recommendations for teaching a horse to target on a cone, (I used a blue sweat scraper) it worked! My horse and I were both excited to have this extra dimension of communication. She enthusiastically learned to "fetch" her scraper and give it back to me, and will now retrieve my riding crop if I drop it! I am a strong proponent of positive reinforcement, and found the clicker method to be a terrific compliment to her training program. She focuses more now on my direction, and I am able to communicate to her EXACTLY when she has done well! My horse is enthusiastic, trusting, and happy. I am thrilled with my training results.
