> > 6. Put the behavior on cue.......then withhold the cue > I'm trying this one on my mule. Zoe has gotten into the habit of taping me on the leg with her front foot when I turn around and give another horse attention, of course I turn around to tell her no:) so she gets attention for it, gets what she wants, and does it again. Last time I was out there I decided to "teach" her to shake, using this behavior. After I left I wasn't sure if this was a good idea or not, I was worried it would just get her to doing it more. Today she didn't tap me on the leg, but I did ask her to "shake" again when she stopped and was standing there. Maybe it will work to put it on a cue and turn it into something else. It's a little hard to ignore this one.
