The “Getting Started” booklet guides you through the beginning stages of
clicker training. It includes three foundation exercises for a clicker-trained horse:
* targeting which introduces your horse to the clicker
* backing which teaches respect of space
* and head lowering which develops emotional control
In addition, for those who enjoy tricks, the booklet includes a chapter on teaching your horse to retrieve. And for those dealing with problem horses, the booklet explains how to use timeouts combined with the clicker to stop unwanted behaviors, such as biting.
The “Getting Started” booklet is a quick, easy to follow introduction to clicker training. Designed as a pass-around-to-your-friends companion for the more in-depthbooks: “Clicker Training For Your Horse” and the Step-By-Step Guide, the booklet makes a great present for all your horse-loving friends!
The booklet is sold in a Clicker Training Starter Kit. The kit includes the booklet, a wrist clicker, and a small package of treats. The Starter Kit sells for $16.95 and makes a great present for someone who is just getting started with clicker training.
(Note, the Kits usually include the new I-click wrist clicker, but are sometimes packaged with two box clickers instead. )
