Stimulus control stabilizes behavior and creates good manners.
Cues act like green lights. They tell the horse which behavior will earn him reinforcement at this particular moment. When a behavior is fully on cue, you are saying to your horse that you want the behavior when you ask for it and ONLY when you ask for it.
Lesson 4: Stimulus Control will show you how to teach cues, and how to use them to create a mannerly, focused, happy horse. When you hear the word “respect”, think stimulus control instead.
This lesson ties together the lessons covered in the first three DVD lessons. It provides a superb summary and overview of clicker training, and it shows you how to use the clicker under saddle. If you can only get one video to start with, Lesson 4 makes a great introductory lesson.
Approx 2 hour DVD.
