Now I'm confused!
Well, Virginia, that is the main reason I DON"T like Parelli. He has nothing nice to say about any body else, their methods, and equipment that is not his. I heard him in person say that clicker training for good for dolphins only. That is the reason I like Clinton Anderson and Chris Cox and others. I just listened to Chris Cox on The Rick Lamb show and he said pick a program - doesn't matter which program, just pick one so you have a plan. They compliment others and say take what you like and works for you and your horse and toss the rest. With Parelli, it's HIS way and HIS equipment. So take them all in, use what you like and toss the rest. Remember, they are ALL trying to sell THEIR PROGRAM and THEIR STUFF.
