I get questions all the time asking my opinion on a variety of issues so I've decided to create this Q&A section to share. As I state throughout this site I do not consider myself an "expert" so the answers to the various questions are my opinions. Please use your own judgement and the advise of your personal vet or trainer in the care of your animal. Also, feel free to disagree with my opinions and email me your own experiences, questions, comments, compliments or criticisms to QA@horsesntraining.com.

I've found lately that most questions I get result in my answering "buy (or borrow from a friend) one of the Clinton Anderson video tapes". I personally dislike it when I ask a trainer a question and they urge me to buy a product, but almost all of my techniques for solving problems use some variation of Clinton's teachings. Obviously Clinton can explain his exercises way better than I can so it is only fair that I direct people to his website: http://www.clintonanderson.net to get the information firsthand versus my rambling variation.

Note: questions along with any resulting answers, either whole or in part, will be automatically published unless otherwise requested. (Last names and any specific address information will be omitted)
