Re: Interest in West Coast Clicker Clinic?
This message is from: Karen McCarthy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is there any serious interest in a clicker clinic on the West Coast somewhere, like maybe in the Bay Area? if there is interest. What we really should do is have a clinic in connection with Libby sometime, or maybe the Turlock show or - something to work toward. Anyone interested? Gail Hi Gail, I think a clinic of this type would really be benefical out here, and I think YOU should organise it! Perhaps Ceacy would want a visit to the West Coast this fall. (Ceacy, are you reading this...of course you are!)Turlock would be a great location, and I am sure that Sami Nelson, Turlok's organiser, could fit it in the schedule. Email me for Sami's # if you need it, as I am sure she is not on line yet. All the best, Karen ___ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web. Visit http://www.msn.com

This message is from: Bushnell's [EMAIL PROTECTED] This message is from: GAIL RUSSELL [EMAIL PROTECTED] Would love to hear if there is interest. (in clicker training) What we really should do is have a clinic in connection with Libby sometime, or maybe the Turlock show or - something to work toward. Anyone interested? Gail I sure would like that! I'm fascinated by this idea and would love to have some instruction in clicker training at the Libby show. (near here, and I hate to travel). Is that a possibility?

We showed the attention getting stuff like fetching and retrieving stuff, and playing tag, but we also demonstrated what I think is particularly useful for Fjords, which is what I refer to as therapeutic gymnastics. These are ways in which you can use clicker training to teach your horse exercises that will improve their muscle tone, flexibility, and balance. For example, I used this method to teach Konggard to raise the base of his neck which is an important part of collection and self carriage. I have been using it to teach him how to rock his weight back onto his hindlegs in the halt, and doing exercises to free up his shoulders. The best part is that you can do this kind of work almost anywhere and at anytime, despite the weather! Gail Russell Forestville CA [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Interest in West Coast Clicker Clinic?
This message is from: GAIL RUSSELL [EMAIL PROTECTED] See below, Ceacy's excellent discussion of the benefits of clicker training. Is there any serious interest in a clicker clinic on the West Coast somewhere, like maybe in the Bay Area? Particularly including some more advanced demonstrations/practice regarding collection/under saddle work, as well as the introductory stuff? Fjords are perfect for clicker training. They learn extremely fast, they are highly motivated by food(!) AND they are not so easy to just muscle around as the wimpier breeds. (Give to pressure and bend? Me? With this neck? You gotta be kidding!) Would love to hear if there is interest. What we really should do is have a clinic in connection with Libby sometime, or maybe the Turlock show or - something to work toward.
