This week, I’m going to share what I’ve learned about R+ training in the last year. As a disclaimer, I am at the START of my journey in this type of training. I have barely touched the edge of it and how it can help my horses and my clients. So if you have questions on it, we can explore them together!
This journey started last year about this time after an awful summer of loss and burn out. I was truly ready to throw in the towel. Looking for something to keep my horses happier, I found Katie Dubow who convinced me I could actually slow down and make more meaningful steps in my training. Thank you Katie! I think about your words of advice more than you know!
So far I am still balancing using both R- (negative reinforcement) and R+ (positive reinforcement) in my daily training of horses, dogs and even my kids! I look forward to sharing with you all this week!
