A New Opportunity To Show Clicker Training in Action!

(Forgive this post, I can't get the font to work, I hope it ends up looking okay!)

 

I was on a bulletin board for horses the other day and someone posted a problem with their horse that was exactly the same as the one I posted about a while back (Missy's Foot Battles).  People were offering up such awful advice about using force and fear, and even pain.

I posted the owner to email me directly and I could help her.  We exchanged emails and at first she said she was not able to spend extra money to buy things that might not work but thanks anyway.  I almost let it go, but then I decided to send her an email offering her one of my own clickers (and a note that they were only $2).  She emailed back saying she had not realized that and would check it out.  Turns out she is only one town away so I am going to show her how to help her horse with the clicker!

I'll most definitely post an update once I get to work with them!  Keep your fingers crossed.

That is great - do post an update!

This is great. I am very excited to hear how it goes. Of course, her comment that she can't spend money on something that might not work is nonsense - we know it works! The only question is will the trainer make the switch? Really, this is very exciting. Congratulations and kudos for not giving up.
