Product Description
Clicker training for horses: a detailed, step by step training guide. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the Publisher
Here are what early readers are saying about Clicker Training for Your Horse: "Alex's book will be the best investment you ever made for your horse." "She is the only one that I know of that has put so many words together with no put downs or negative comments about other methods and styles." "It is the best book on horse training that I've ever read. It was worth every dollar!" "Whether or not you are ready for this, it is here, and it will be BIG." "This book is absolutely great. Somehow I never have time to finish reading it - everybody wants to borrow it!" "The first horse book I've ever seen where all the horses in the photographs look happy." "My horses are all visibly happier in general. They work with purpose and feel satisfied with the outcome as we do. It was a real eye-opener for my family who is trying to understand clicker training. It is now a firm part of our lives." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Training Book!, July 20, 1999
By A Customer
I LOVE this book! I've read it at least a dozen times and my horse loves me for it! You can use ANY method of horse training with this including Parelli, or Lyons, etc. But first and foremost this book is the absolute best peice of training equiptment I've ever bought. A lot cheaper than the constant search for the bit, saddle, bridle, training device...etc. BUY this book and you will NOT regret it. Also if you like this book you may also want to get "Don't Shoot the Dog" by Karen Pryor which deals with the same principals of training. Only it's not a step by step manual.Thank you Alexandra Kurland.Oh, you can even find out more about clicker training by going to clickryder.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic training manual for every horse owner, March 21, 1999
By A Customer
My horses thrive on the training program described in Clicker Training for Your Horse. The book is very clear cut on how to set up a training program for success, no matter what your experience is with horses--beginner or long time owner. I became more clear in my directions to my mare and she began understanding what I actually wanted. She became more confident and successful with every exercise I did. I don't have training help, so this book pretty much saved me from turning this mare into a broodmare. She now enjoys the tasks I ask of her, and is a joy to ride. Over the winter, I taught her and her pasture mate how to play with a large blue rubber ball. Before, the sight alone of the ball would have sent her packing.. what a joy to see her run up to it and push it back to me!!!!!! I recommend this book for every horse owner!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent training tool for your horse!, April 18, 2000
By A Customer
I purchased this book shortly after I got my 2 year old Tennessee Walking Horse filly. It has been a marvelous tool! When I followed the recommendations for teaching a horse to target on a cone, (I used a blue sweat scraper) it worked! My horse and I were both excited to have this extra dimension of communication. She enthusiastically learned to "fetch" her scraper and give it back to me, and will now retrieve my riding crop if I drop it! I am a strong proponent of positive reinforcement, and found the clicker method to be a terrific compliment to her training program. She focuses more now on my direction, and I am able to communicate to her EXACTLY when she has done well! My horse is enthusiastic, trusting, and happy. I am thrilled with my training results.
