I tried it on Sunday and it seemed to work out okay. His mouth was a bit wetter when he took the treat but that was about it. I treat with pellets but I know a bunch of people that treat with hay stretchers.<br /><br />GHM- I'm glad I could give you some ideas. I hope it works out well for you and yours. Now that Dusty is laid up it might be fun to try teaching her a few tricks to keep her mind engaged.smazourekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029180368325070266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374098783533915699.post-11656489665820891222011-05-03T17:14:52.474-04:002011-05-03T17:14:52.474-04:00That's a good way to put it, sort of saying th...That's a good way to put it, sort of saying thank you with the clicker. Thanks for some information that I can use while clicker training the horses. It's been a while since I did it and I will have to start all over again. I always seem to not have enough time to focus on the actual training. But you gave me some good ideas how to use the clicker in everyday things that I take for granted.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374098783533915699.post-9053677738936242412011-05-03T15:56:24.412-04:002011-05-03T15:56:24.412-04:00I like the idea of saying thank you.

I have a questions about treating....I believe you are riding bitless now(?), but did you treat when they had a bit in their mouth? If so, what did you use as a treat? I am always worried about gagging or choking. :-)Wolfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04743943656869294788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374098783533915699.post-91745340344850362962011-05-03T12:01:05.535-04:002011-05-03T12:01:05.535-04:00That is a great way to put it.

I like to c/t those behaviors because it is a time to really strengthen our reinforcement history on things we are both confident in. I think it is good to never take our horses for granted.Golden the Pony Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15230832980797448174noreply@blogger.com
