I don’t think I’d like Randal as a real person but the character is still very entertaining lol

[@rin-eri]

I'd love to see a round table/podcast style collab with you and Equine Helper. She just posted a video about gorse training styles she doesn't like, and one of them was R+. I'd love to see if you could convince her otherwise or even just find some common ground.

Despite him being such a jerk, I want to see him again. 😅

[@charlenedawkins2029]

but friends call him Rufus

[@annepettit3855]

I use small apple flavored treats. Negative reinforcement-1 1/2 hours to get on the trailer. Positive reinforcement-10 minutes to get on the trailer. Rufus can do the math 😂

[@GypsyEquestrian]

You know I asked someone why they don't add positive reinforcement to their horse training... They said the time between the behavior and reward would be too long... Uh that's what markers are for (like a clicker)
I use balanced dog training - which is mostly positive reinforcement. Even police and military k9 trainers use heavy positive reinforcement mostly these days. Why? Because the dogs are a lot less mean and are less likely to tag their handlers when you pay them. It's really hard to find an old fashioned yank and crank dog trainer these days who doesn't use any positive reinforcement - and that's for a damn good reason. Using all 4 quadrents makes for good relationships, clear communication, and happy animals. If you eliminate one quadrent, you lose all of that.

[@fishygirl3548]

There is a reason balanced training for dogs is so popular. Like you said. It’s Because it works.
Maybe there is a reason R+ is not a very popular method for horses.
I haven’t actually seen many people successfully pull it off, and train a good horse using pure positive methods.

Could we please have a update day in the life🥺

[@lindag4484]

I've seen a lot of positive reinforcement training with 'cookies' and the results were exactly that, POSITIVE. ...and positive to the point of no longer needing 'cookies' but additional positive attention as the reward instead. It works. Remember 'Monty' Roberts and 'Buck' Brannaman? Two, original "Horse Whisperers" whose core concepts of 'join-up' and positive reinforcement were ground-breaking.

[@GypsyEquestrian]

From all that I have studied of Buck's work and he uses mostly fair R- (from what I've seen). He did not agree with using Positive Reinforcement in training (at least up to 2 years ago he didn't, I haven't followed up recently). He does give his horses pats and verbal praise after the behavior is achieved with an aversive. All pressure and release is by definition R-. Some use it more gently (Buck) than others but the motivation behind the horses behavior comes from an aversive. I still respect Buck and I think he is a fair horse trainer (from what I have seen), but these are different styles of training :)

[@DarlaCharlton]

Have you ever actually tried to train problem horses with this

[@becca_equestrian]

She has had multiple mustangs she has trained

[@DarlaCharlton]

@@becca_equestrian mustangs are not problem horses they are just wild

[@GypsyEquestrian]

If by “Problem horses” you mean misunderstood horses, yes! But I’m not the only one. Positive reinforcement works for all types of animals, wild, traumatized, or young/blank slates included.

[@DarlaCharlton]

@@GypsyEquestrian by problem horses I mean horses who are aggressive,charging their owners, biting and overall dangerous

[@flacadiabla3193]

No, Randal, I mean Darla, she actually has never even seen a horse in her life. When she says "horse," she means dragons. Those clips of those dragons are what she has experience training.
I'm going to have to sign up. My dragon never comes when I call 'im.
