Donkey Training Videos {Learn 4 Exercises I always use} Level 1 Training a Donkey Foundation Video 1

Donkey training doesn't have to be difficult... in fact training a donkey can be fun and a very interesting journey. But you need a base plan, time and pateince. You also may need the ability to be flexible in your plan. Donkeys tend to have their own agenda and we may need to adjust accordingly!
I'm learning a lot from Miss Daisy, the rescue donkey I took in from the kill pen back in Jan.
This is her second video appearance (the first video is in my membership group) In this video I'm working on 4 basic exercises.
These 4 exercises are part of my donkey training foundation Level 1. The book and more videos are available in my Donkey Training Membership group here: / donkeytraining
This is the first video in the Seris of 'Training Miss Daisy' be sure to subscribe and see them all!
I want her journey to help other train their own donkeys.

A really lovely training session. It's great to see the sensitive awareness of her comfort level and ability to engage through out the session. Lovely start! I honestly didn't know people were using R+ with privately owned equines. I've worked with so many different species, from alligators to zebu, it makes sense to me. If you can train a shark or polar bear or cockroach with R+, why not a donkey!

This is awesome! Thank you for explaining things so well. I’m a new 4 month old donkey owner and am totally in love. But… petrified I’m going to mess her up. 😂

I know you made this a while ago, but what kind of treats do you use?

[@DonkeyListener]

I use a different treats to help avoid bordom.. all no sugar treats though

[@TWHwmn]

Do you have any suggestions for donkeys are 6 months old and don't like treats? Thanks

[@DonkeyListener]

Just keep trying different things! Or use Timothy pellets for treats

[@TWHwmn]

@@DonkeyListener Thanks

[@daleweber5054]

I hesitate to use treats to train any equine as it allows them to become "mouthy" and possibly bite. Plus treats aren't always available.....and donkeys especially become fat easy when treated all the time

[@DonkeyListener]

Everyone has their own way... using +R with rewards is what works from me and the 100's of donkeys I've trained over the last decade. If you train treat manners properly "mouthy" donkeys won't be an issue. If you look at my herd you won't see fat donkeys either... because I use no sugar small rewards AND my herd gets alot of exercise. But like I said... this is what works for me and everyone I've trained 😊😊 everyone has to find what works best for them
