There is something tha...I think you must be right. There is something that Cole is seeing that he doesn't like. I will stoop down to his eye level and see what it looks like from there.<br /><br />You also gave me an idea. If he likes carrots tonight, I can take him out and practice following the target. When he understands, I can try to lead him in the barn that way. That way he will be in "seek" mode instead of "Fear" mode. <br /><br />Have you ever read any Temple Grandin? Her book, "Animals make us Human" changed my whole view of animals, and it is what got me started on clicker. She is the one that made me understand the "seek" emotion. That's when I started clicker with my cat to enrich his life, and then I started to play with it with Mingo.<br /><br />Seek is a very powerful emotion, and it is what drives us to keep checking our favorite blogs to see if anything new is posted.Judihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01696430372464786833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-19599215534794724792010-06-02T10:12:36.349-05:002010-06-02T10:12:36.349-05:00Hurray for Chrome!

Even if they don't land, they still swarm and irritate them that way.<br /><br />I'm glad you think Cole is handsome. He seems as beautiful inside as outside, too. I am so happy to have him. Finally the bad economy paid off for me. After a year of paycuts and watching my retirement dwindle, I got a good deal on a horse that would have been sold a long time ago if it wasn't such a lousy economy.<br /><br />Feel free to learn whatever you can from my adventures--I've been learning from yours. I am still fairly new with clicker, but you have all the dog experience on your side.<br /><br />Cole is starting to like carrots, so that is a relief. I decided to plant extra green beans for clicker use with him. He might like them more. He never had treats, before.<br /><br />My book would be very helpful for you starting a young horse on the trail. I have a large section on young horses, and of course the sections for older horses is helpful, too. Trail riding is very beneficial for dressage horses.Judihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01696430372464786833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044831604914286008.post-9594133201509026552010-06-02T08:33:50.449-05:002010-06-02T08:33:50.449-05:00Success!
