Product Description

From the Inside Flap

Clicker training is the revolutionary new method which has taken the world of training by storm. It was originally developed by Karen Pryor when training dolphins and is established as the leading force-free method of training dogs. Now clickers are proving especially effective with horses. In Clicker Training For Your Horse, top equine trainer and behaviourist Alexandra Kurland provides an entertaining and enlightening introduction to the principles of clicker training, and shows how it can be used to overcome common problems. Throughout the book, Alexandra draws on her own personal experiences, showing how she has tackled various difficulties through the magic of the clicker. From a foal's fear of clippers, and bridling a head-shy horse, to dealing with an adult's aggression or refusal to trailer-load, Alexandra describes each of the steps she has taken in a programme to transform her students into well-mannered, obedient and reliable individuals. Clicker training is not confined to overcoming problems or difficult behaviour, its uses are limited only by your imagination. It can be used for refining your horse's riding skills or teaching him to lift his feet up for you to check ... the sky's the limit! With a foreword by Karen Pryor, Clicker Training For Your Horse is a must-read for every rider, whatever their ability or training experience. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


From the Back Cover

Positive reinforcement that works! In this remarkable book, Alexandra Kurland shows you how and why to use the techniques of positive reinforcement and shaping, with a horse. She leads you through the new methodology of clicker training step by step, so that you can do it for yourself. And she makes one of the biggest benefits crystal-clear: Clicker training is not just effective - it's FUN! No matter where you begin, or what happened in the past, you and your horse can learn to work more smoothly together and enjoy each other more. You may even find that you and your 'clicker horse' develop the kind of mutual trust and friendship most owners only dream of having. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Great, Easy 1-2-3..., 18 Dec 2000
By A Customer
This book is the best I've seen on the market about clicker training for horses. All my horses are all C/T-ed and have learnt to fetch, touch, return, nod, count etc. It's easy to follow and it includes interesting examples. This book will make your life w/ you horse much easier. You will understand each other and is great fun for both you and your horse. If you like extending your equine knowledge to the furthest, clicker training is not to be missed!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book on clicker training, 13 Oct 2003
I really enjoyed this book. It is very practical and offers lots of interesting exercises to do with your young horse or with any horse!

Not really for use if you want to understand the theories of operant conditioning etc as I think the author was a little confused herself on this (stick with dog training books for animal learning theory). In terms of a practical book that you can take to the yard and use hands on techniques with you horse, this is definately well reccommended

5.0 out of 5 stars A cracking book!, 26 Jun 2003
By J. Semmence (Oxfordshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having heard about horses that have learnt to 'fetch' or hold legs up whilst bandages were applied, I wanted to learn more about clicker training. I bought this book not really knowing what I was getting into and with no prior knowledge whatsoever.

This book has changed everything. My horse really looks forward to doing the exercises explained in the book and he's alot happier for it!

The book starts off with the basics on how to start and builds up to more difficult work (lateral bending/loading etc). Its packed full of really useful hints and tips and is written extremely well (very easy to follow). Its good also because it doesnt insist on you buying expensive 'gadgets' to train with. For target training I use a lid to a supplement!

Even if you're only slightly interested/curious about clicker training, please read this book!
