Behavior Modification:  Equine Rehabilitation 

 

This is the process in which to change an unwanted behavior into a calm and collective state of mind for your equine companion. My techniques use no pain reinforcement and are influenced from the natural horsemanship training (Herd and Pack Mentality). I will help you become your animal’s best friend, help them to gain confidence in themselves and strengthen the relationship between you. I will help you fulfill the needs of man’s best friends.

 

After getting my first horse “Summer” I spent a lot of time searching for the right trainers to help solve some of her behavior issues, without any success. I have seen many trainers use pain and fatigue to solve their training problems. There had to be another way. A friend introduced me to a training technique I had never heard of before. I have studied natural horsemanship ever since. I have recently worked with one of the world’s most respected horse behaviorist, John Lyons. The knowledge I have been given has changed my relationship entirely with my horse. We are partners in work and play and have a bond that is unbreakable. Understanding horses better and how they respond to the world has helped me solve my own problems.  These training methods will help anyone who wants a stronger relationship and better understanding of their horses companions. 

 

My training techniques address the following behavior issues and relationship problems.

1.      Anxiety.

2.      Shyness and fearfulness.

3.      Aggressive outbursts toward people and other animals.

4.      Control issues.

5.      Special needs. 

In order for this process to be successful, you must:

1.      Understand that there are no BAD horses!

2.      Be willing to learn and keep an open mind to change.

3.      Realize that making excuses is the path to failure in your training and your animal’s rehabilitation.

4.      Make time for training a priority.

5.      Realize that using bribery is not a solution.

6.      Remember that you will always be in training.

 What you can expect from my training program with your commitment to improvement.

1.      A stronger and more peaceful relationship with your animal(s).

2.      Control of, and respect from, your animal(s).

3.      Your animal's developing an understanding of what is expected of them.

4.      Increased willingness of your animal(s) to please you.
