This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I received the Herald today and read through some very nice articles and well written passages and beautiful pictures, however when I came to one article in particular Training a bit less, voice only fjord. I have to say that It gave me very uncomfortable feeling in many comments such as horses not wanting to please humans (which I have found to be just the opposite especially with the Fjords) and if this method were tried by many of the people that I have seen, well I think that I would stay off the road and under safe cover. Using force and discomfort as a primary training method is only saying to me that we as humans have not evolved very far. As stated in this article the author only has experience with negative re-enforcement. Well I must say that a good boy or girl and a lot of good pats a Fjord will do anything for you, even leave their beloved food pile to perform. So I am rather disappointed with this article. I do not feel it is sound and safe as method that should be advocated in a breed magazine.. I am interested in how everyone else felt and is this really an appropriate place for this sort of thing?
