Description

Science-based training is about more than just modifying behavior - it's an entire way of living with animals. By understanding our species' natural history and learning theory, we can best meet their needs and bring out their fullest potential. Positive Reinforcement techniques allow us to develop strong bonds based on mutual understanding, empathy, and compassion. This book explores the sciences behind horse behavior, learning, and feeling, using ethology, biology, and neuroscience as its foundation. With custom-designed charts and diagrams, it provides a visual guide for those who learn best this way. The book also includes over 70 instructional worksheets to help you apply this information to real-life situations and individual equines. You'll find detailed guidance on training a wide range of ground and mounted behaviors, as well as advice on addressing emotional and behavioral problems in horses.
