It has been a treat this summer to have a young lady interning with me who had a fabulous coach in the dog training world. So, of course, we started to play with how to do horse things in more of a dog way. Why wouldn’t we? After all, we are out of the box thinkers to start with, so why not way out?
Eggo already knew his mat work and I could send him to a mat from a fair distance so we played around with going around an object to get to his mat. We still did all the thin slicing we always do when clicker training to set him up for success.
While it is still in the early stages it is going very well and is great fun.
Here are some pictures that Nita took during one of our sessions.
And here is a video link to how to start the sending around an object so you too can start this if you would like to.
Look for my online courses starting hopefully by late fall on my website www.equispeak.com
Until next time ‘keep it positive.’
