  • The video demonstrates the use of negative reinforcement or pressure and release in working with nervous or unhandled donkeys.
    It demonstrates shaping behaviour and can be considered the first part of the catching process if you have a nervous or unhandled equine.

    Rescued a couple minis, one of which was fairly lovey, the other more nervous. Got them halter broke and small walks on property. Move too quickly to off property walk and they panicked. Took several steps back in terms of trust and comfort with halters and walks. I appreciate your “small steps” and incremental approach, and enjoying the journey, with much smaller goals.. gave me a new outlook on what a success, more patience and understanding, along with enjoying their personalities.Thank you!

    Got 2 donkeys fairly recently (mother and daughter) - mother is exceptionally friendly - daughter far less so - I can see that I will have to be exceptionally patient and try these techniques with the daughter - I had already concluded (from something I read) that gentle movements towards donkeys are essential - thanks !!

      Nora Ann,
      It would seem, ahem, "someone" didn't pay attention during this video. Giving him "a hug and a kiss" is the third from the last thing you'd do.

    side-note: ... wonder how they respond to music ... I've seen so many other animals become enchanted by pretty much any musical instrument-played ... (elephants - when around a piano - either try to play too or sway/dance to the beat) ... bet some donkeys will try to sing along ...

      it's impossible to answer, due to the fact each equine animal has their own defensive behaviors & their own happy behaviors. Some things are common, but i break equine myself, I'm known as a "whisperer", so i have to work with each equine before i can tell it's unique behaviors
