You hafta make being caught worth his while.. When I had horses ,any that were hard to catch were put in a small pen.. I'd go in with the bridle and walk him down,run him,make him work.. When he'd give up,I'd walk up,shove a carrot or slice of apple in his mouth and walk off.. Usually got the most amazed google eyed look :lol2:32Paws":35o2s5to said:I am going to clean his hooves, worm him etc
This works really well with horses. But my darn donkey does not care what the reward is. They have a totally different mind set than a horse. He is very "treat oriented," but not when it comes to being caught. He knows what your up to every time and prefers to go without! :lol:peg4x4":2lqlf3kh said:You hafta make being caught worth his while..
