Hi Judy,
>>>The whip can be used as a target... he will learn that, by touching it,
he 

gets a treat
That is a good suggestion, as long as they are conditioned to the sound of
the clicker first or it could reinforce their fear of it.  You know loud
sound when they touch the dreaded whip.  I have had great success with the
clicker getting horses over the fear of the whip.  If I can find the time I
will got through the steps on a short piece of video (got my new camera -
just am not sure about setting it so it is low enough for the internet for
space - if you know what I mean) as an idea.
