Clicker Steps & Bits

by Richard
(Texas)

Once you get your horse to touch the cone, what do you do to get them to accept a bit by using a clicker? I am really encouraged to find a way to use of positive reinforcement.


Hi Richard,

I'm so glad to hear you are adding positive reinforcement methods to your training but we do not advocate the use of bits of any kind due to the pain and damage they cause (and there is nothing positive about that.)

Click here for further proof on the abusive effects of bitted bridles see the book called "Metal In The Mouth", by Dr. Robert Cook and Dr. Hiltrud Strasser.

Once you hear the truth you will never use a bit again.
