I respect the gentle approach you take with horses and I assume with all animals.

I've recently gone back to school and I'm currently taking a behavior course. The course mainly covers dogs and dog training but many of the ideas are similar to what you mention with horses.

My most recent adventure is trying to "clicker train" my cat for a school project. It should be interesting to say the least.

In response to training posted by charladawson:


Hi Charla!

The gentle approach does work with all animals and people, too. You must always lead by being calm and assertive and then your companion animals become calm and submissive - and they enjoy it!

Good Luck with your clicker training the cat!
