P2 Why teach your horse to touch a target?? De-Spooking, rein-Back, loading and more...

Targeting is a really versatile training technique that you can use for so many things with your horse.
In the last video (part 1 - • P1 What is Targeting? ... ) I explained what targeting is and the different types of targeting used in positive reinforcement training. This video looks at some of the practical uses of touching a target.
Touching a hand-held target is the first type of targeting I teach using clicker training. In this video, you'll learn:
- how to introduce the hand-held target using clicker training
and then use it to train:
- de-spooking
- leading
- loading
- lining up at the mounting block
- lateral flexions
- backing up
- teaching shoulder over and quarters over
- freejumping
