From the Inside Flap
Clicker training is the revolutionary new method which has taken the world of training by storm. It was originally developed by Karen Pryor when training dolphins and is established as the leading force-free method of training dogs. Now clickers are proving especially effective with horses.
In Clicker Training For Your Horse, top equine trainer and behaviorist Alexandra Kurland provides an entertaining and enlightening introduction to the principles of clicker training, and shows how it can be used to overcome common problems.
Throughout the book, Alexandra draws on her own personal experiences, showing how she has tackled various difficulties through the magic of the clicker. From a foal's fear of clippers, and bridling a head-shy horse, to dealing with an adult's aggression or refusal to trailer-load, Alexandra describes each of the steps she has taken in a programme to transform her students into well-mannered, obedient and reliable individuals.
Clicker training is not confined to overcoming proglems or difficult behaviour, its uses are limited only by your imagination. It can be used for refining your horse's riding skills or teaching him to lift his feet up for you to check...the sky's the limit!
