2021/11/26

Another wander through some of the crucial theories surrounding clicker training. Errorless learning sounds too good to be true- what it is all about?

Friend and colleague Sooz Foster joins me again as we take these topics down some interesting rabbit holes. High fiving cats and why extinction bursts in your horse are thankfully less dangerous, or are they? Shout out to Sooz who

A question that came up on one of my recent R+ training course Q and A sessions was just too good not to answer publicly. Thanks for such a great question Sara...what do you do when your horse appears not to hear the click? In this final episode of the season I consider this scenario and offer some solutions. What do you do when your learner doesn't react to the bridge in the way you expected? I'll be back at the end of summer with a new season and some great guests and topics. Get in touch if you

LIMA and negative reinforcement, my thoughts on these...

Lead a Horse to Water ·

2021/06/02

Lately there has been a growth in the UK of trainers and groups labelling themselves as LIMA. What is LIMA and what is its impact on my work as a trainer and behaviour consultant? From the IAABC (iaabc.org) “LIMA” is an acronym for the phrase “least intrusive, minimally aversive.” LIMA describes a trainer or behavior consultant who uses the least intrusive, minimally aversive strategy out of a set of humane and effective tactics likely to succeed in achieving a training or behavior change objective

Patterns: Could They Help You Leave Home?

2021/02/24

In this episode Sooz Foster (check out previous episodes for her bio) and I dig down into patterns and how they can help us help our horses. Adapted from Leslie McDevitt's pattern games for dogs, these simple devices can ease anxiety for you and your horse especially for horses that struggle to leave home because of separation based anxiety. Apologies for some sound issues from Sooz at the start and interruptions from my dogs- real life problems! You can get in touch via my website

Touchy about targets?

Touchy about targets? No, really I'm not! I just love good, careful and clean teaching of handheld target behaviours (and all other behaviours of course). Targets are often used to lure forward movement- again I have no issue with this WHEN DONE WELL. Listen while I ramble through my thoughts on the subject and gather your own thoughts too. Who is targeting for? When should handheld target training be part of your plans? More to come in future episodes: how to train handheld targets, targets as

Give me a clue! Is that a cue? In this episode Sooz Foster and I dig deep into the topic of cues. What is a cue? When do we introduce a cue? What does a suitable cue look like? Is the environment a cue? And lots more! It's rather a long episode as we begin to unravel our thoughts on cues and it might need a couple of listens.

In this episode (episode 4, I'm on a roll) I answer a listener's question about how to introduce movement behaviour using reward based training.
