Ep 28 // The Ethical Use Of R+




The Willing Equine show

Summary: <p>"Effectiveness is not enough" is something I say a lot (quoting Dr. Susan Friedman), and I mean it. R+ (positive reinforcement) is a VERY powerful and effective way to teach our horses behaviors we would like them to do and know, but it's not inherently more ethical or "morally sound" way of training. I explain why in this episode and also share some of the ways I modify my training to focus on ethical training practices. </p> <p><br></p> <p>✦ www.TheWillingequine.com✦ Instagram.com/TheWillingEquine ✦ YouTube.com/TheWillingEquine ✦ Facebook.com/TheWillingEquine ✦</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thewillingequine/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/thewillingequine/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/thewillingequine/support</a>
