Is so fun to see a equestrian KZbinr use clicker training, Me and my sister clicker training a dogs, We also clicker training our horse!

[@iriolexisbierle6697]

Hey Jill, not sure if you've experienced this, but when initially teaching targeting I've found that you should NOT use something that the horse can bite through. I tried to use a pool noodle target with a horse that had never targeted and can confirm that chasing a horse with a piece of pool noodle in their mouth is NOT fun lol! So lesson is start with something relatively solid and you can use anything once you're sure they know not to bite it :)

Girl I've been doing this with my gelding and it's working wonders! He really responds with those alfalfa pellets too! Couldn't thank you enough jill!!!! You are awesome! Keep up the great videos! Sending love from michigan 🤗💚💛❤🧡💙

[@jessicaselevchuk4125]

Oh my goodness, I seriously cant wait to start this at the barn (some of the horses respond poorly too -R training and have horrible ground manners, this gives me a starting block to try out +R)

[@JesseAflleje]

Love watching you train your horses +R. Great to see them get better and better. Excellent job!!!

[@MaryJane-wf2rz]

I don’t even have a horse yet here I am watching these videos.

[@stevelevitt]

Hi Jill. First I want to say that, in addition to all the important information you present, you are an incredibly gifted writer and I find your blog to be not only extremely articulate and well written, but also very personal, from the heart and inspiring. So thank you for that. We recently were blessed by Rosie coming to our farm/home. She is a 15 year old paint mare pony (12.3 hands) who came from another home where she reportedly taught 3 children how to trail ride over the past 4 years. We don't know all the details about how she was trained but undoubtedly traditional vs operant conditioning. My question is this: my wife is receiving lessons on traditional ground work and wants to continue with that, but I'd like to go on a journey with Rosie using operant conditioning at liberty, including clicker training. In other words, my wife will continue with the traditional approach, which I also have been using up to now, but I want to work with Rosie by changing to clicker training so as to develop a more compassionate, heart based relationship with Rosie. Is this possible and can I do this without causing conflict and confusion for Rosie. I love your approach and the way you teach, and I hope you can shed some light on our situation. Thank you.

Love watching you work with horses, you are so calm and patient with them and its refreshing to see someone successful at specific training. Love how relatable you are and down to earth!

[@dicesof8]

I’m not sure who these people are that only watch 5 mins, but I always watch the whole video. I think you should go back to the “if you watched this video to the end put *this* emoji in the comments below”. That way you can see if the analytics are correct. I feel like with this group they are not. Love your videos! Keep up the good work and thank you for showing us that there are different ways to train your horse.

[@cameliagaudreau7770]

Thank you so much Jill! 💓

[@bernsky]

I am so stoked you are doing r+. Can I suggest something for sound quality? You can download a free app called audacity and use it to clear out the background noise in your track. If you do a clap when you start recording, it’s easy to line back up your adjusted track with your video.

[@iriolexisbierle6697]

Thanks for starting with the remedy for mugging! Think it's a great way to appeal to non-R+ people who can still find the info valuable :)

[@ellieb.2807]

I love the delivery in the beginning! It was all very professional and very well said!

[@belongtobill]

Thank you for making this video! I've been wanting to start clicker training with my mare, but I had no idea where to start!

[@JustMeJewel]

I definitely am interested in incorporating positive reinforcement with my training. I look forward to trying it out. Thanks for the upload.

[@kathrynschaller8875]

JILL! I finally moved my very emotional horse from a big quarter horse barn to a backyard barn and started clicker training tonight. We worked on getting his head in the center of his body and not begging, and he took to it super well! Excited to try more with him.

[@hedvigsletten6820]

I absolutely LOVE the +R videos! ❤️

[@abbymurer]

Just got my clicker can’t wait to start working with it!

[@maggiefunderburk1640]

This video was for informative yet not a crazy overload of information. Thank you for taking the time to film these videos and get R+ to become more common in the horse world! :)

This was such a good teaching video! I’ve been listening to your postcast on my way to work and have been excited to start trying this so this video really helps thanks!

This was really helpful! 😁

[@mathildec6776]

Super clear and helpful ! 👍🏻

[@bernsky]

Great video!! I also watch the willing equine but she breaks it down into such small sequences it’s hard to understand the process. You do such a good job, thanks! I’m hopefully moving my girls somewhere where it’s possible to do this (right now they are just in a field) and film it too! Thankyou!

[@morgandubois176]

do a everyday makeup routine!! or a morning routine!!

[@MeganSaysRawr]

A few years late to the party- but wondering if having the target tucked in your waist when teaching the "manners" behaviour was confusing for the gelding. He was trying the same behaviour as the first task without success. Does the target being beside the treat pouch encourage them to reach for the pouch too?

[@subconscious.com_usa6691]

Fantastic :)

[@elisehermann6094]

My yearling filly lives outside so My only barrier I could use is the gate into the pasture. Does that work to start the teaching process?

[@kendraweiland9202]

This would have been so helpful when I tried clicker training my horse last summer! He picked up the targeting in about 2 minutes, but we could not get his manners worked out or how to show him we were done with a session so I stopped. The only thing we do with treats now is carrot stretches and I have trained him to stand still at the mounting block with treats. I’d be curious to see if/ how R+ can be translated into ridden work.

[@iriolexisbierle6697]

You definitely can ride with R+! I am starting it right now, but here is a blog post from Adele Shaw who trains and rides with R+: www.thewillingequine.com/single-post/Can-You-Ride-With-R

[@sousalarson6858]

Curious what to do when that second horse shows up. If they are both clicker trained, what do you do when the second one that hasn't done what you asked expects something?

[@ligt18098]

Do you ever have issues with multiple horses who know the clicker sound getting... idk antsy when they hear you working on another horse?

[@samanthalutgendorf8173]

Can teaching a horse manners by rewarding when they turn their head away completely cause any issues or negativity for your horse in the future? My mare was extremely crazy with treats and began to even nip before so when I taught her manners I reinforced her turning her head away completely. She's great now with treat training so I'm just wondering if I should consider reinforcing manners to the center of her body instead of away from me.

[@JETEquiTheory]

Samantha Lutgendorf id switch to the less severe version bc you could miss when she gives you a calming signal. i cant remember if i touched on that in this video but i did on either the EQUINE IN THEORY podcast episode or on my blog post about it on jetequitheory.com/blog

[@HiThere-oe2km]

What are the pro’s and con’s? And why do you like this training method? How will this effect riding? And how will this effect your relationship with the horse?

[@JETEquiTheory]

i love this training method because it makes sense to me. it’s founded in operant conditioning, and has a specific set of procedures to follow; all of which are based in science. it makes training so much more clear to me than the way i learned it growing up. i now understand traditional training better as a result of studying OC😄 cons are that it’s not universally accepted. there are still people out there who believe treats are bad & horses are looking to usurp their power. riding can be trained using clicker. i have ideas, but have yet to do it so ill keep my thoughts to myself for now! it will affect my relationship for the better i believe. ive seen a tremendous change in Zoë since i started. she really thrives on the freedom she’s allowed. she can stay with me or leave & she loves solving the puzzles! she comes up to me every time she sees me & nickers so i’d say she’s happy with the switch!

[@coragreer4426]

I honestly can’t think of many cons the only one is some horse can get pushy but that can be fixed

[@c.a.zequestrian8770]

Hey Jill Just after a tip. My horse does not like puddles. I’ve tried soo many things but nothing seems to get her through a puddle. Please help me P.S Love you and your videos

[@christinaburris4236]

Lol I while you were talking I was so distracted by Macs goofyness

[@kathrynschaller8875]

Hey Jill! Quick question. I'm an AQHA rider, but recently my horse has developed pretty severe ulcers. We're working with my vet and he's on a plethora of meds, and we are in the motion of moving to a smaller, non-show barn where he gets hay 24/7 and I can visit him more often. We're on a lunging regimine just to keep him sane until we can start back in work. But I can tell he doesn't enjoy it. Where would you recommend starting to build up the relationship and, once we're at the more laid-back place, start with +R? I think we both need a change and a step back from the show life. I hate seeing him so stressed to even go in the ring.

[@dogedogs6510]

Do you still do eventing?

What is the treat pouch you use, Jill? I'm looking for a better one than my cheapo fanny pack

[@yolandathomas-going8609]

Hi I have a share lease horse called Harlem and I love +R. I trained her to target with a mechanical clicker as the noise, but when I wanted to teacher her to self bridle I needed to not have the clicker. Will I confuse her/take away the effect by ALSO using the mouth click? (the SSKS kind of noise?)

[@tessagoddard9855]

Prestige Pets You can have more than one bridge signal. Although I don’t recommend having any more than 2. As long as you “charge” the new sound that you are using (pairing the new sound with the reinforcer), then she will respond to it just like the clicker :) And it will not “de-value” the actual clicker. She will respond to them the same. Hope this helps:)
