What trick shall I teach Cookie?

[Shantara]

Tomorrow I have a completely spare day!

I know I won't be able to fully teach him a trick in one day, but I want to give something a go

What's easy for both silly owner and clever horse to understand?

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Shake hands or stand on a tub (or both)

 

[Shantara]

Hehe good plan! I might try and perfect his "lay down" trick.
At the moment he just really puts his face on the floor...I must add I didn't teach him this

 

[Gloi]

I clicker trained mine to fetch a rag toy when I threw it (not too far mind you, need to work on that)

Bowing. Very easy to teach.

 

[Cortez]

Agree, bowing is a good one (the ol' carrot between the legs method - that's the horse's legs mind!). Be careful of teaching "shaking hands" as that can turn into something that can be both impromptu and potentially dangerous.
