Halter Training a Calf - The Gentle Method - No Breaking

The term “breaking” is often associated with forceful training methods that aim to establish the trainer’s dominance over the animal. These methods can be painful and traumatic for the animal, and can leave both emotional and physical scars. (From Google)

Special thanks to my brother, John, for handing the hardest parts of halter training!

Training Resources (where I learned my information):

Dr. Temple Grandin’s Books:
Animals Make Us Human - https://a.co/d/5SJ6vLn
Temple Grandin's Guide to Working with Farm Animals: Safe, Humane Livestock Handling Practices for the Small Farm - https://a.co/d/6gsWZWz

I also learned from in-person lectures with Dr. Grandin.

I have also received two years of instruction in animal behavior and training techniques from a personal trainer, Erin Allen, who helped me self-train my service dog. Her website is https://www.onefinek9.com/about.
