Clicker Training 101 (for horses)
**ITS FREE!!**
Clicker training has quickly become an invaluable tool in my PT toolkit
But when I talk to most people about clicker training with horses - they look at me like I have 3 heads!
I hope to change that…
This online course is absolutely 100% FREE, no strings attached - because I feel so strongly about getting this information out there into the general public.
Clicker training, R+, or positive reinforcement training, are all different names for the same basic training paradigm where we reward the horse for a correct answer by providing them with something they want (usually food!).
I’ve watched a friend train wild mustangs with R+, taking them from feral to happily toting her around under saddle.
I’ve watched a friend introduce R+ training with horses at the rescue she works for - and horses who couldn’t be handled for nearly two years finally started to make progress.
I became fully convinced of the power of R+ training when I started using it with my rehabilitation clients - horses currently in pain or with a history of pain who had either grown reactive or shut down to traditional pressure and release methods were absolutely thriving when we introduced the clicker.
…And now I’ve taught countless horse owners how to get started with clicker training their own horses.
As a physical therapist I love to use clicker training for rehabilitative exercise, to alter the way a horse carries himself, and to change associations with things like saddles and girths when previous fit was poor.
But you can train your horse to do absolutely ANYTHING with clicker training!
In this FREE online course we discuss the science behind animal training, how to introduce food rewards safely to prevent mugging and food aggression (even if you currently have a muggy horse!), and the step-by-step process to get started with your first 3 clicker trained behaviors.
What People are Saying:
This was a good looking, informative, jump start to clicker training.
I stumbled upon your presentation/course when I googled for inspiration about loopy training. Walked into a potential goldmine.
I had to go through the course to know if I could recommend it to an interested novice in clicker training and the world of behaviour analysis.
And it turns out – I definitely can.
This is pure gold.
All the best from clicker trainer since 1990...something :-)

It's a great resource if you're new, trying to learn, giving it to clients, you name it.

This course was exactly what I needed!
It confirmed that there is a lot I’m doing correctly but opened my eyes to some things I need to work on.
When I realized there were some nuance things I didn’t have quite right, I didn’t worry because all the tools to fix them are right there in the class!
Thank you so much for this free gift of better horsemanship, I hope more people take advantage.
