About Clicker Training
 Clicker
Training is a form of Operant Conditioning which uses
positive reinforcement
to
teach or modify behaviours. It has been used successfully with hundreds of
species and thousands of individual animals over the last 60 years.
The clicker itself is a simple noisemaker, a signal to
precisely mark a behaviour as 'good', so that the horse knows what you want from
it. The clicker works because it is linked to a reward. That reward
can be anything that the horse likes and will work for. Food is the
most desirable and practical to use during training.
Key Benefits of Clicker Training

Your
horse will learn how to learn, quickly and be enthusiastic about your
training sessions. |

You learn how to teach your horse in a much more effective way, how to break down tasks into learnable chunks. |
|
|
The horse is never wrong, so Clicker Training is particularly effective
for previously abused or very sensitive horses. |
|
|
No force is required, just patience. Timid or new horse owners can overcome even
the most boisterous or bad mannered horse. |
