Oops

Forgot the Lazy Trainer's tip.

Learn what is really important to the animal you are dealing with. For horses comfort, play and a safe enviroment are critical. They need a herd and a secure place within that herd. They need to move. In the wild a herd will travel a sixty mile loop in a week. That's a far cry from a few hours in a paddock or an hour ride.
Dogs need to move. They need to know their place in the pack. They need to know the one that is in charge will meet their needs.
Other animals will have similar yet different needs. Meeting these basic needs will enable you to be a better trainer with far less effort.
I wish I didn't have to say this, but I know I do--be sure your animal has adequate amounts of water and food as well as suitable shelter.
