Training with Treats: Transform Your Communication, Trust and Relationship (Soul of a Horse Series)

Author:  Joe Camp

Many trainers dislike the use of treats for training. Some even say we shouldn't talk to our horses. Training should all be based upon body language, just as the horses use with each other in the herd.

We believe that the horse’s language is important because once the horse understands that you know his language, once you have given him the choice of trusting you, of being in relationship with you, and once you have proven your leadership to the horse then he has a clear capability to grow and understand our language. To learn things he might not have ever had the chance to learn if he had remained in a herd somewhere. 

Teaching your horse that you understand his herd language is a must in the beginning. But we now know that communication increases exponentially, both in comprehension and speed of learning, when treats are strategically used.

Come with us as we step outside the box and discover how to give our horses a new and exciting way to learn, and communicate with us… and have fun!
