(I love that dog's interest in the training.) 😊 I do the "not interested" thing with one of our cats. I accidentally taught her that if she claws at my chair, she gets treats. (In reality, the cats get treats at bedtime, as a way to lure them out of our bedroom.) So, when I started getting ready for bed, she would claw the chair thinking that's what got her treats. Now, as I'm getting ready for bed if she claws the chair, I just stop getting ready. I just stand there. I'm not mad, I'm not worried about the chair (it's way too late for that), I'm just refusing to engage with that behavior. I wait a couple of minutes after she stops, then I start the bed routine again. She quickly learned that clawing the chair meant treats got delayed and quit clawing the chair for treats. 😉 But, as you said, energy is everything! If she thinks I've forgotten what's happening, she'd claw the chair again. It has to be totally disinterested energy or it won't work at all.
@@TheStarhorse1 What's funny is that I can get in the head of dogs and cats, but not horses. (Plus, I'm uber allergic to horses.) I come to this channel for the energy work he does. I've come to realize that cats are a lot like horses. (If horses had claws and were obligate carnivores.) They're too often prey and that can make them anxious or skittish and lead to behaviors that we're not fond of :)
Suzi, thank you for sharing this! It's amazing how many things we humans -do- inadvertently teach our animals, yet so many of us fail to realize *we* were the cause of the "bad behavior" we may now be seeing. I hope your comment on this video is thought-provoking for many and opens their eyes so as to not blame the animals!!!
I love the surprised, intrigued face the fresian pulled when you started walking to its rear end. Hes like thats so funny, why would you do that hahaah
Your sighthound border collie *_needs_* so bad to see where the action is. Maybe he could get a little platform or something to sit on and watch? He is so entertaining as he tries to find a way to see. They are so incredibly smart. Ours is so much like yours, there are circles around all the pens here where ours contains everyone and everything. ha ha He's always on the job.
I have a 13 year old Ster Friesian, and what you showed could have been him. THANK YOU, for this video, I think you solved one of my problems with my Friesian. I dont know how often you get a Friesian in your training programmes, but it would be such a blessing if you could have some videos in how to train that breed (assuming you are familiar with training them). The Friesian horse is very different from all other breeds and there is next to none education on how to train them properly. They do not respond as well as other horses to the usual methods. By the way, your dog appeared to really want to be a part of your video - so cute!
I have learned so much from your thoughtful advice. I saw the friesian at the clinic and tried some of those things with an older pushy horse here with some success. I think I'm more of the problem at this point because I expect it from him so much that it is work for me to retrain my brain to clear out those expectations and maintain the positive idea of him interacting nicely. It's like I'm telling him to be that way. So, I'm a work in progress. Always something new to work on. :)
The way Warwick Shiller explaines how horses live in the present, the positive frame of mind of the "Yes Question" and this explanation about pushing with shoulders were boom opening in the relationship with my horse. I am learning a lot thanks to Principles of Training. #journeyon20
Why would you put a dislike to this video if you don't like his videos then don't watch him personally I think he's got a lot to teach everyone and horses
It is hard to choose a favourite video, because each one has very useful info and everytime I watch one I get a bit if info that helps me in a specific situation.. today the little piece about yes and no answers made sense and I can solve a problem now with my horse that had me had a fall last week because I did not understand the no answer I got then. Thanks for sharing you journey. #journeyon
I have had a few Friesians that all do that with their shoulder. You are right that they do not move back from flags and jiggling lead ropes! They trust humans so much that there is no fear. I love your videos and I try to use your methods all the time..usually with success. Thank you.
Good horse info but more importantly looks like the next border collie Rin Tin Tin is looking to be '"discovered" for their "big break" in pictures. Who deserves to be the star of this video anyway!! I'd say they deserve a little air time :)
gonna try it tomorrow! My horse tried to run me down last saturday, biting and chasing me while I was leading him (leading in itself is a thing already) so am digging into your material to see if I can find some solutions, thanks for all your videos, very helpful, merry x mas!
Thank you for this one Warwick--I have a horse who couldn't care less about flags, bags, whips, any kind of deterrent you'd usually use to push them back. Will be trying this out! Best wishes from Canada.
This technique is similar to one used when training puppies or dogs not to jump on you. As they are jumping up you turn your back to them, not engaging in the behaviour. It’s devastating to them and they quickly learn not to jump.
It’s funny because I think it’s a friesian thing like Great Danes do the lean,, my mare is a Friesian also and use to do this to me like a comfort thing . I did use the back up out of my space but I do have to remind her sometimes. I will try this method along with your principles. Thanks mate 🙏 🇦🇺👍
This strategy allows the horse to move the human's feet. The horse may get tired of moving its shoulder into you - but will not learn to respect the human's space. Wouldn't it be better to use a stick to tap the encroaching shoulder ... or use it to drive the hindquarters ... to make the horse uncomfortable any time it moves too close?
this method works on dangerous horses that wana stmp you to the gound to. i did it when i was about 22 whit a 3 year old frederiksborg stallion som fool bought to he´s 12 year old daughter, no body turnd it out to the pastior, becaurse it bitetet, kick, jumping on, in to you, over you, and tryeid to cover the handlers. the only handlet it when the girl shut ride it, and then a older more experienced girl had to race it tyired in the arena first, and it always had chambon ond out side the stabel... so one day i ask why it never was on a pasture, and well nobody wout/dare´t to walk it out there. so i sayid i wout do it. well he did give a disent fight, but when you standing exactly on the spot behind the shoulder they cant get to you, do he tryide and the "fight" took about 15 min before he desidet to stop, he entet up stopping at last. people keep´s yelling that i shut let him go,...even do there was smale toudlers runding around the parking lot.......real great idea, set him lose an run sall kids down.....people are morrons. it was there fault he was the way he was at the first place, they shut never have bought a stallion, when they didn´t know how to handle it. well but any way. from that day, i showt some of they others what to do if he flipt out, and it help´t. from that day he got out to pastures, whitout dangering any one. he was a wery sweet horse, he was just misunderstod and handlet the wrong way. one of the older girls endtet up buying him in the end. so it al entet well. but thats a nother seanario where this thecnik works to. sorry for the bad english, im a mongol to wright it, better at talking ;D hope you can understand my messy word´s.
Oh that's fun! We do something similar when walking dogs when they pull on the leash. As soon as they pull on the leash we turn around and walk back, then do that over and over till the dog learns that pulling doesn't get where he wants to go. I'll have to try that with horses!
A bit confused here. I was always told to never back away from a horse. As in the horse world, first one to move their feet loses, especially with backing away. Just what I was taught and looking for some clarity is all!
In this case it's actually not backing away, it's walking away from the situation and telling them "I don't want to have any part in that behavior". However, the idea that the first one to move their feet loses is a bit of an out dated concept, as it means that there is only one leader. In the wild, leadership among the herd is much more fluid than we once thought. Every herd member must be trusted to raise the alarm if they sense a predator. As long as you don't move your feet away from horses out of fear or safety, it doesn't mean you 'lose'. Conversely, getting your horse to move their feet unnecessarily in order to 'become the leader' erases connection and replaces it with obedience.
How about looking at the difference between backing away from his shoulder towards his back vs walking with intent towards his flank in order to cause the horse’s feet to move or yield to you. You yielding vs the horse yielding. Is there a difference or is it the same thing? Why and how, what implications or future results?
@warwickschiller Will this also work for a horse that will try to run over you while heading back to food? Recently our seasoned old red mare, new to us last year, nearly knocked me over running thru the gate I was standing in to get to her grain bucket and then she did knock her inexperienced handler to the ground passing with her panniers when out in the backcountry packing and trying to get back to the trailer where her food was. (She is housed in pasture with goats and horses with unlimited access to quality hay, and is 26 yrs old and has gone more miles in the back country than most)
I just got a 1 and a half year old Mustang filly. She is super sweet, intelligent (picked up training very quickly), and is over all like a big golden retriever. However when I start scratching and rubbing on her neck and withers she tries leaning on me trying to get as close as possible. You can tell that she is not doing it to literally push you around she just can't seem to get close enough. She doesn't spook as easily as when I got her so the lead rope method didn't work. I am going to try this to see if it works with her.
What if they do this when leading? I have a horse who is very good to lead most of the time but if he’s really “up” or worried one day (he’s a thoroughbred) he will walk on top of me when I lead him by just continually pushing his shoulder more and more into me until it’s basically impossible to walk forward because he’s blocking me
Also if you do a turn to the outside yourself and can get them to do a quick circle around you, you can end up in front of them again. And yes Lori, getting a pushy horse to back up will help, so long as they are able to respond to the request.
today i had an experience with a horse i am taking care of for a short time because the owner went on vacation. i was interacting with the horse in the big rectangular sandbox, it approached me, it was interacting with me, all seemed fine, and then suddenly she disengages, tries to walk through me. i did not expect it so my first response was; get it off me. so i did the light jumping to create some energy. she responded to that by backing off. and then later on she came back to me again but this time instead of running into me, she turned her hind towards me after she interacted with me a little. she was nibbling at my knee and foot so i think she was trying to get me to move. well, i did not move while she was nibbling at my knee and foot so i guess she resorted to putting her hind in my face and see what i would do. first time she did that i was surprised and put out a light but firm "hey!" and lightly hit her on the hind. but that did not do much. then a bit later she did the exact same thing but this time i moved towards her face and then i turned my body very tightly in front of her face. her response was like: "huh? did not see that coming". i kept walking away from her after that and she followed me a little bit but then turned away again and i kept walking. next time i will try the methods as shown in this video and see what happens :)
My horse does this also because her mother died when she was a month old and I hand raised her. So now she tends to want to run to me when I'm trying to start driving her. I think it's more of a response of running to me for comfort. But I can't get her off of me to start her loping into a nice circle. I'm thinking I need some way of blocking her with my right hand while I'm also trying to point. If you could help me I would be so grateful!
Doesn’t constantly evading his stepping into have the potential to teach him that he can make you move your feet- which then can become an issue with the horse establishing he is in charge of you?
I keep seeing that dog hop up in the background LOL

I really love your training methods they have helped me countless times with my horse. Thank you ❤
Amazing video!!
love the doggy jumping in the back😂
I think the horse just wants a hug! Friesians are very affectionate towards humans.
That’s an excellent idea! The important thing here is that the handler keeps a loose line and isn’t leading the leaning horse around.
Describes my Friesian gelding to a t! Can't wait to go try this!

I would not try this exercise with your horse, its not for a horse biting and chasing you. I would be working with that horse through a fence.
My pony spun to bite and run me over. How would you do this through the fence? Thank you, love watching you😊

Thank you for hearing me in the quantum world.
A bit confused here. I was always told to never back away from a horse. As in the horse world, first one to move their feet loses, especially with backing away.
Just what I was taught and looking for some clarity is all!
In this case it's actually not backing away, it's walking away from the situation and telling them "I don't want to have any part in that behavior". However, the idea that the first one to move their feet loses is a bit of an out dated concept, as it means that there is only one leader.

Conversely, getting your horse to move their feet unnecessarily in order to 'become the leader' erases connection and replaces it with obedience.
TY. This helps. But my horse does this mostly in narrow pathway. There is still room for both of us to walk tho. She dores not do that in open.
How about looking at the difference between backing away from his shoulder towards his back vs walking with intent towards his flank in order to cause the horse’s feet to move or yield to you. You yielding vs the horse yielding. Is there a difference or is it the same thing? Why and how, what implications or future results?
Wow that is a huge horse!🤠💕
I love the dog popping their head over the fence :0
I keep seeing. a dog trying to get in on the action! Your new assistant.
Very good
Came to find out the context of pushing "into the ground" - stayed for the goodest good boy.

I wouldnt attempt this with food.

You can tell that she is not doing it to literally push you around she just can't seem to get close enough. She doesn't spook as easily as when I got her so the lead rope method didn't work.

Julie Goodnight has a video clip on this.
She immediately backs them up if they're trying to get there before you.
Also if you do a turn to the outside yourself and can get them to do a quick circle around you, you can end up in front of them again. And yes Lori, getting a pushy horse to back up will help, so long as they are able to respond to the request.

next time i will try the methods as shown in this video and see what happens :)
Exactly what I needed
How do we sign up for a lesson, in Texas?
1:09 the dog 😂
How tall is that Friesan and the man?
#journeyon20 this helped me understand how to help my very pushy horse give me space during feeding.
How do you deal with a Horse that gets separation enxiety while riding on trails. He gets exited when left behind, gets lazy when leading.
There’s a process to help with this , and it’s part of the basic riding skills that I teach before I ever go trail riding
I knew a pushy Freisian too! He was spoiled rotten so knew no boundaries.
That dog is so cute!
My horse does this also because her mother died when she was a month old and I hand raised her. So now she tends to want to run to me when I'm trying to start driving her. I think it's more of a response of running to me for comfort. But I can't get her off of me to start her loping into a nice circle. I'm thinking I need some way of blocking her with my right hand while I'm also trying to point. If you could help me I would be so grateful!
Your dog is hilarious!🤣
Make the wrong thing difficult (but not impossible) and the right thing obvious with a release.
What if they push into u when you are tying them inside a horse trailer?
Ae no problems with them pushig into you anywhere else ?
I understand the concept when we are out in the open but when we are confined its hard to walk away right in the middle of tying
@@djok7375 If you know the horse still pushes into you out in the open, you wouldnt be trying to go into a trailer with that horse.
I bought a 2 yr old Friesian colt a month ago. He does the exact same thing. He also tries to boldoze me over when I feed him.
Doesn’t constantly evading his stepping into have the potential to teach him that he can make you move your feet- which then can become an issue with the horse establishing he is in charge of you?
you're a boss!!
That horse is pushing into YOU!
