How do you know exactly what behavior the horse thinks it is being rewarded for? For example... you reward for head down but perhaps the horse is giving head down and at the same time staring at the ground directly in front of itself. So it thinks it is being rewarded for staring at the ground while it walks but you are rewarding for the head down. Does that question make sense?
this is a genuine question not a criticism so no body go crazy at me k lol.
are u clicking it while it is trotting with its head lowered, then halting to give the treat? or are u just halting and treating? cos would that not just make the horse think that it is being treated for the halt? does it know that u are treating it for the low head carriage at the trot?
i dont know alot about clicker training so im not trying to sound like i know all and u are wrong just trying to learn a bit bout it
For those who are wanting to learn, I chose to use Clicker Training with my Arab, because he had been started badly with traditional training methods. He was tuned out and disengaged emotionally after having been ill-started and then ignored for years in a pasture.
Some horses need different motivations to accept humans again. Which is a sad commentary on humans.
I've been watching many of your videos today--I would love to explore more with clicker training and I'd like to see if I can help some of the horses with their behaviors/training at my barn.
Because first you have to have the trust from your horse. A reactive horseis not thinking about food. He only wants to survive. I personaly don't use a clicker with my horses because thats not what motivates them.I sugest giving your horse the safety she needs first before trying to motivate with other things
I don't spoil my horses by giving them treats as I said I don't even use clicker training. My horses respect me enough to know not to push me all over for a cookie. But they gladly accept when I give them one and offer to do it again. Don't you dare tell me how to train my horses. I'm no idiot
Wait did I say that...wow no I didn't. Just because I don't need and idiots advice doesn't mean I have nothing to learn. It means I have nothing to learn from you. Unless that is I want to know what NOT to be like.
Ok you don't know me. Thats a good thing I don't want to know you I'd probably end up killing you if I did because you're a pain in the ass. But until you know me don't you dare tell me I won't make it. I'll be a better horseman than you. Ha I'm probably already there now.

Kim - I've been doing this with my own high-headed, fear reactive Arab/QH cross. Clicker training does work!

Blazingava,You seem to have kind of a nasty temper & an unwillingness to learn. Your not going to make it as a trainer.

No you can see she is balancing clicker training with good language and leadership. So it ends up not all about the treat.
