Why Should You Use a Planner for Clicker Training Horses?
Do you like to-do lists, checking off your goals, planning your day or week in advance? Is efficiency your jam?
Training with a plan leads to better results, whether you’re a clicker beginner or a professional working with clients. For the at-home horse owner, a training planner helps you develop your skills. For a professional positive reinforcement trainer or coach, a planner helps organize sessions and communicate with clients.
When you clicker train your horse, it’s crucial to start your positive reinforcement sessions with a plan. Lay out the behaviors you want to teach in advance so you can see how your horse is progressing. Break down behaviors into clear training approximations so your equine can understand. And compare trends over time so you can improve or adjust the training so that it works for your horse AND you.
Look Inside the Horse Training Planner
Training Session Logs
These professional-style training session logs are how you can rate your horse’s training sessions. Jot down your plan in advance or after the session.
Rate your horse’s response with a number – and see that number grow over time as your horse learns!
Rate individual behaviors for precision training.
And set a goal for next time so you can stay on track.
Shaping Plans
Clicker training and other positive reinforcement training for horses relies on a good shaping plan.
Shaping is the single biggest thing that most positive horse trainers can improve on. Most training problems come down to the shaping process. Does your horse understand what you’re asking?
Use the positive reinforcement shaping planners to break behaviors down and create a game plan for each learning experience.
Training Checklists
Train or retrain the fundamentals with training checklists. Whether you want to start a young horse with clicker training or see if you can use positive reinforcement to teach your old horse some new tricks, the checklists keep you on track.
The positive reinforcement planner includes training checklists for each major behavior category. It has pre-filled checklists for the basics of good horse behavior. Then, use the blank checklists to create your own custom behavior plans for your horse!
Horse Profile and Bio Pages
Use the horse profile pages to personalize the planner for the equines in your herd. Positive reinforcement for horses means there’s no one size fits all approach to training.
Write out your horse’s unique history. Record their medical needs and any food or environmental sensitivities. Fill out their preferred training rewards. And record their favorite equine enrichment activities.
Thought Spaces for Journal and Horse Training Notes
Between each section of the horse training planner you’ll find thought pages. Use them like journal space or to make special notes and reminders.
