We are clicker trainers and believe in the scientific principles of operant learning for our horses, but we also follow the path neuroscience takes us. Once in a while we come across a horse who needs a helping hand to overcome his or her fears. We do not believe that in every instance clicker training is the best place to start.
Some time ago we acquired a horse that demonstrated to us that clicker training was putting too much pressure on him when he was anxious. We came across a technique that was being used to treat fear and aggression in dogs and with some help adjusted it to use with our horses. We are having great success with CAT -H and interact with like minded people around the world to help people use CAT-H with their horses.
