Well, I haven't gotten far enough into PNH to say much other than I like that there's a 'plan' to follow--that's good for me because I don't have a mentor other than my instructor and I don't always agree with his methods. >From what I've been reading in Clicker--it doesn't sound 'conditioned'....the horse recognizes the sound and will respond, but the fact that they think and look for ways to get a click--is that conditioning? When I think conditioning I think robotic. The games in PNH, with phases, etc., they seem to be just as much 'conditioning' in its own way. But--I'm only a newbie in everything and I could change my views after more experience. Whatever works for my horses is what I'll use--as long as it creates a healthy relationship. V
