A Positive Start to Positive Reinforcement Training for Horses Workshop with Dr. Zeligs

June 13-14th 2020: Near Fresno, CA 

Focus for this clinic is on:  How to improve the relationship with your dressage horse by incorporating more positive reinforcement training strategies into your current program. Build more enthusiasm for training sessions, reduce anxiety and help prepare your horse for veterinary exams and for the farrier.

Does your horse “mug” you for treats so you don’t use them as a reward? Dr. Zeligs will show you how to use treats effectively and with  your horse’s respect and trust.

Day 1- safety (antecedent arrangements), bridging and safe feeding, calm defaults and introduction to targets

Day 2- moving targets and using targets and R+ to promote reduced anxiety during medical work/farrier.

  This “was my first [workshop] about non domesticated animals and all I can say that I want more. More experience, more knowledge, just amazing. These 3 days were special for me, you are great teacher. Also as a person who struggles with depression again I want to thank you for giving a kind of purpose. Especially training session with lions show me how important is to help animals at zoo, prepare them, reduce their stress. Thank you, thank you, thank you😊”

 

 

“I’d like to tell you how grateful I am for the opportunity to learn from you [Dr. Zeligs] – not only so many technical nuances of training and practical hints, but also ‘the heart’….You showed us the way by having the guts to always put the good of the animal first. I also appreciate the message about being humble, nonjudgmental and caring.”
