I give my young horse a cookie once in awhile as a treat. He is so grateful and almost surprised, like "all for me?!!! Thank you, thank you!

My horse came to me as a Marty. She is a freak about treats. I can’t even give her any. 😢

Amen! I’ve been pushing this truth for years now. People just want to treat their unbroke horse like they’re pals, like a big cuddly pet. You shouldn’t be bribing your horse.

It's wild to me people won't give their animals treats. Like it's true that you can give your animals treats and also train them to a high level. Also, if you are so anti treats, and anti positive reinforcement it just means you don't understand how to use it effectively...
God forbid you are soft and kind to an animal while they are learning with you. Considering you are supposed to be a team.
Training with positive reinforcement doesn't mean you are a sissy or a pushover. It doesn't mean you are permissive. It doesn't mean when the shit hits the fan, when there is an emergency or when an animal acts dangerous you won't respond accordingly using fair punishers. It just means you know how to use positive reinforcement and have more than two or three emotional responses to your horse, or dog, or whatever animal you work with...
These takes are wild.

Wow, it's really weird how you missed the message of the entire video and come up with this hot take.
He literally said the opposite of what you wrote. Be better.
