About this listen
In this episode, I talk about the Four Quadrants of Training.
While to actually train a horse you know need to know these terms perfectly, and training animals isn't as simple as knowing them and following them to a tee, understanding the difference between them is really important. Their uses, what they do, and personally, I don't think it's something talked about enough in horse training.
It gets talked about and argued about a lot amongst dog trainers, largely to be pedantic to win an argument that has no foundation and to try and get one up on someone that is having disagreements online. The terminology itself isn't that important. It what they mean and what it does in your training, understanding reinforcements and punishments and how they work is very important for understanding what you are doing and what you hope to achieve with your horse.
Horse training is an art, everyone does it differently, everyone disagrees, but most people regardless of whether you agree with what they are doing or not is at least trying to do what is best for the horse.
Regardless of what training methods people use, they will be using at least parts of the four quadrants of training.
