Horse is slow to respond to cues…is pressure the way to go?

Do positive reinforcement and pressure/release(negative reinforcement) work together? Establishing a good attitude is part of the trainer's responsibility. In fact, I think it is the MOST important part of the trainer's job. We help to create a good "work ethic" then we help our horses to truly enjoy the training and our time together. If they are slow to respond(latency) I recommend adjusting some techniques within the training plan. This doesn't necessarily mean adding pressure but instead working on our timing. www.shawnakarrasch.com Distributed by OneLoad.com
