Introducing a horse to Clicker Training – Step 1 Food Manners

20 Aug Introducing a horse to Clicker Training – Step 1 Food Manners

This is the very first Clicker Training session with the 6yo palomino gelding called “Chips”. We start with the horse behind a fence for safety while we teach them to keep their head away from the food and to take food rewards gently. We want the horse to learn to stand still, relaxed and neck straight while they wait for a reward. This teaches the horse impulse control around “manners” around food. The next step is to go in with the horse and repeat the whole process.
