The CLICINO Clicker Ring is a versatile training aid that is not only used in dog training, but also successfully in horse training. It enables clear communication between rider and horse and helps to improve cooperation.
The clicker ring can help to reinforce basic commands, train specific movements and influence your horse's behavior in a targeted manner. In this article, we will show you how you can use the clicker ring optimally in various training situations to make horse training more effective and cooperation more harmonious.
- Basic training
The clicker ring is ideal for teaching your horse basic commands such as "stop" or "sit" (in the sense of "stay on the ground"). Each time the horse responds correctly, you use the clicker to mark the desired behavior. You can then reinforce the horse with a small reward such as a treat or by stroking it. This establishes a clear link between the correct behavior and the reward, which makes learning easier.
- Movement patterns and movements
For more complex movements such as "hips in" or "walk backwards", you can use the clicker ring to mark the exact moment when the horse performs the desired movement correctly. This helps to optimize the timing of the reward and guide the horse quickly to a precise execution. The clicker makes it clear which behavior is desired and reinforces the learning of specific movement patterns.
- Behavior in the field
The CLICINO can also be used excellently in the field to encourage positive behavior. Be it when encountering other animals or crossing obstacles - the clicker serves as an immediate confirmation when the horse remains calm or reacts well. This strengthens the horse's confidence and teaches it to remain cooperative and calm in challenging situations.
Conclusion
The CLICINO Clicker Ring offers a precise method for positive reinforcement in horse training and not only promotes learning, but also the horse's well-being. The clear and prompt communication between rider and horse strengthens trust and changes behavior in a targeted manner. The CLICINO enables an effective training method that increases both the well-being of the horse and the efficiency of the training.
