So my new weanling is uber nervous. I have been using the usual recommended approach and retreat, followed by touch and retreat methods, as well as just pottering around him doing jobs/sitting around lots. He's still very nervous. Has anyone ever tried using positive reinforcement like clicker training with particularly nervous babies? I'm very apprehensive to try it, as I don't want to create issues and it never would have worked with my previous baby who was very bold and pushy by nature. But I'm conscious of getting him handleable enough for farrier and wearing a rug, headcollar etc asap.
