UNDERSTAND HORSES

I appreciate Trudi's excellent presentations; well arranged, just enough information at a pace that's just right, in do-able time blocks, with nearly poetic wording and diction. The graphics make the concepts clear - even concepts I thought I understood before were made more clear to me in the first week of the course. I look forward to each lesson to strengthen my theory and practice.

Fantastic course and Trudi is so generous with her time and expertise!

I think the best part about this horse is that your learner gets to be involved too. Being able to film your own progress and get feedback was so valuable and lead to me making lots more progress than I would have made on my own. It was fun and reenergised me to spend better quality time with my horse. I also learned lots about the more technical and theoretical side of Positive Reinforcement.

This course was exactly what I needed, and gave me the confidence to begin exploring positive reinforcement training in more detail. Trudi's science and practical lectures were engaging and easy to understand, which made the training challenges feel approachable and achievable. Trudi's personalised feedback on video sessions was thorough and insightful, whilst also being encouraging and positive. Thank you, I will be back for more!

In this course, Trudi not only teaches you how to improve your training but also involves you in many discussions and exchanges of ideas that make you able to think for yourself, consequently getting to be a better trainer and achieve your own goals in the most ethical way!

I thoroughly enjoyed this course! Trudi is an amazing trainer, offering her expertise and advice, always approachable for any and all questions. The group zooms and discussion boards are brilliant, it was great to be in a space and able to bounce ideas off each other. 5 stars from me!

I am relatively new to positive reinforcement training and have not really been in a “ learning “ environment for several decades so when I saw this course advertised on social media I was very interested but also worried I wouldn’t be able to keep up or it would be too much for me. I made contact with the lovely Trudi Dempsey who put me at ease and encouraged me to sign up, I’m so very glad I did. I absolutely loved the course, so much information, feedback and a wonderfully supportive community to share the journey with. This course has given me the confidence I needed to progress with my training and I hope Trudi will be doing another course.

I recently finished this course and miss it already! Trudi is an incredible trainer, knowledgeable, insightful and supportive. My understanding of positive reinforcement and the practical application of it has improved so much. I didn’t want it to end!

Content was clear, well structured and detailed Trudi gave thorough, insightful feedback on the video submissions with lots of positive feedback to help the human learners!
