Here is a taste of what the clinics are all about!

Here is another video of the same concept. This time, I am demonstrating the "Positive/negative Pressure" with an un-handled zebra in a round pen. By allowing him to have a chance to lead some of the communication, he gets more confident. Depending on the animal, you may need to do more work with either the positive or the negative. A timid animal needs to learn that they can communicate with you, that is when I use more negative pressure and allow them to fill the void. With a more dominant animal, I use more positive pressure and having them move away from me.

Here is a short video of one of Denny's training sessions. We are working on yielding to "positive and negative pressure" which basically means your body bubble can push a horse away, or draw them towards you. This exercise becomes a walk half-pass on the ground.
