Introduction

The Donkey Sanctuary has an ambition to help improve the lives of donkeys and mules around the world, by providing relevant up-to-date resources on donkey care, welfare, behaviour, nutrition and veterinary topics. These recordings of live webinars are created to help owners, handlers, carers and the employees of organisations across the world find the information they need to improve the lives of their donkeys.

This webinar recording will provide an introduction to using the science of behaviour and the key concepts you must incorporate in your donkey training.

The fact is that the science of behaviour is the foundation of all communication with your donkey or mule. Once you understand the basics of how the science of behaviour applies to donkeys and mules, this knowledge will transform your interactions with them forever.

If you are struggling with a behaviour issue or if you are just getting started with training your donkey, then the science will help. Even if you have years of experience and still want to keep learning and improve your donkey training skills, this webinar will help you will learn:

  • The one thing you must do before you start training
  • Why taking smaller steps will speed up training
  • Why knowing your negative from your punishment will make training a more positive
