"Humane, science-based horse training is a type of training where the user combines an evidence-based understanding of equine behaviour with his genuine love and respect for horses in order to train and handle horses in an ethical yet effective way.

This book will introduce you to the science behind animal training and explain how you can use positive reinforcement and other non-coercive techniques to train a wide range of behaviours. It also include twenty or so step by step training plans so you can go out and teach your horse to give his feet, lead calmly, back up and so much more."

    I received this book for Christmas and have read quite a bit already. I am new to positive reinforcement and have been slowly learning with my Highland mare since about September this year using mostly the Connection Training online resource and this book solidifies everything I have learned and explains everything so clearly. It is the best book on positive reinforcement I have found so far and I am really looking forward to putting into practice what I am learning. I also am reading Barefoot, Bitless and Whipless and Whipless and was encouraged to see that the author of this book recommended Fairhorsemanship.

    I received my book today and am struggling to put it aside. Unlike most books on horse training I've seen, Alizé writes in a way that is clear and straight-forward. There is no 'padding' or waffling, every sentence serves to illustrate her points.

    Easy to understand; I would like to recommend my university add some copies to their library for other equine behaviour students.

    This book is both an absolute delight to read as well as an absolute must for anyone interested in clicker and positive reinforcement training. Or, for any horse owner and lover, really!

    The book is a very good comfortable size to read and has very nice coloured images which go perfectly with the sections and training they describe.

    This guide is the perfect introduction to positive reinforcement training - it is easy to read and the examples of behaviours to train are all very relevant to everyday life with a horse, and also some fun things to teach your horse. A more advanced trainer myself, I still found some good points that were raised and some inspiration for my own training.

    I would highly recommend this book to anyone starting out with clicker and positive reinforcement training, as well as to more advanced trainers.
    An absolute must in any tack room!
