I started this in March 2020 with my Covid horse, Firefly. I was kept from the barn because of changing regulations so I kept my girl at home and started re-starting her from the ground up using clicker training and this podcast along the way. She was semi-feral, buddy sour, and had a lot of opinions and resistance. Luckily for me she adored her treats and was very food motivated. Five years later she is my unicorn horse and I can trust her with my kindergartener with a hackamore and is my heart horse. Even doing this a little awakens a thinking and problem solving center of the equine brain and will change your relationship, I 100% believe this! I too wish that this podcast would come back but there’s not much Shawna has left out and I can’t want to see her next time at a clinic when she comes back to Oregon!!

This is the best podcast ever!!! Pleas make more!!! (Well I would also recommend “Heels down happy hour” but that is another story). I do not have a horse now but I plan on getting one in the next couple of years. And I will totally do this with my horse! Also I realized I can do this with my rabbit!!! My killer is in the mail and I will start as soon as it gets here. YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💕❤️ P.S. Alec should have killer trained the black!🤣

This podcast is well-produced in every aspect. The trainer is an excellent, clear communicator. The format is innovative and useful; really cannot overemphasize the usefulness of this step-by-step guide to - the very complex - subject of positive reinforcement training with equines. This podcast has helped me avoid the pitfalls of positive reinforcement training with horses. Indispensable.

Love the lesson format. Great way to share info on science based training.
