Clicker training isn't a training method to me. It's a philosophy, a way of life. Reward the good, ignore the bad. Break tasks into tiny steps and reward small successes. And in some cosmic, karmic sense of right, more and more good things seem to be happening to me. I wanted a trained dog. I found a happy life. -- Why I Clicker Train by Melissa Alexander
"Whatever the task, whether keeping a four-year-old quiet in public, housebreaking a puppy, coaching a team, or memorizing a poem, it will go fast, and better, and be more fun, if you know how to use reinforcement."
"Aaron Lynch quotes communication scientist Everett M. Rodgers on the special case of the spread of a technology. For a technology to spread fast, it has to have these characteristics: It must be easy. It must have visible benefits to the user. It must be something that can be learned in small increments. (I would add that there must be instant results that are reinforcing to the learner.) Clicker training fits the bill. When you see a well-trained standard-trained dog, you tend to say, "That must have taken years, I could never do that." Or, "My dog could never be that smart." In contrast, people see a clicker-trained dog in action and exclaim: "How did you do that? Can I do it? Show me. Let me try." --Karen Pryor.

 You Can Train Your Horse To Do AnythingTraining advice is provided for: specific riding disciplines ‹ jumping, Western riding, dressage, and trail; behavior problems; trailer loading; working with young horses; and last of all, just for fun, teaching tricks. Shawna Karrasch is a ten-year veteran marine mammal trainer for Sea World; she now specializes in horse training with her husband, Vinton, a Grand Prix show jumper. "The basic starting tools are a small hand-held clicker, a hand-held "target", and a waist-mounted container of food. Desired behavior is reinforced with a click, followed immediately with a reward reinforcement. A target is added to give direction and improve focus. Step-by-step, you and your horse develop better communication and increased motivation. Your horse can then learn new behaviors motivated by its own desire to perform." On Target Training |
 Clicker Training for Your HorseAlexandra Kurland shows you how and why to use the techniques of positive reinforcement and shaping, with a horse. She leads you through the new methodologyof clicker training step by step, so that you can do it for yourself. And she makes one of the biggest benefits crystal-clear: Clicker training is not just effective: it's FUN! "I have been using clicker training with my horses for about four years now, and I have just been astounded by the results. Everything from basic manners to upper level performance can be taught with the clicker. Clicker training piggy backs beautifully onto the other training systems. It's not a substitute for, but an enhancement of this other work. The clear "yes" answer of the clicker accelerates the learning curve and creates eager, happy horses." -- Alexandra Kurland - Clicker Training For Your Horse |
