Mutual respect and deep understanding can bridge human/equine differences and create a therapeutic bond. When you understand your equine and yourself you will change into a fair leader. The donkey will find you interesting and most importantly will trust you. Donkeys must trust us before moving a step forward in the relationship. Donkey 101 & Donkey 102 create games and exercises for you and your donkey. Donkey 101 & Donkey 102 Video Series will change your life forever in all areas. You will provide leadership and offer your donkey a reason to trust you and follow you as a leader, not a bully, not a treat dispenser. Humans and equines can empower one another, provide psychological and spiritual balance and encourage one another’s instinctive and intuitive senses. In essence, together you become healers. This is why Donkey Whisperer Farm trains you, the owner or caretaker, to train your equines personally. This bond, this healing must be forged between you and your equine, not a third party trainer. After all, it is you that your donkey will be sharing its life with.
It is from this perspective that Donkey Whisperer Farm Online Training Courses have evolved. Each equine is unique and carries with it a cellular and energetic memory. No training technique is a blanket solution for all equines.

Each donkey is an individual with personal experiences, needs and defenses. Every domestic equine has a history with humans whether tragic, indifferent or supportive that must be considered in a holistic training program.
I base my training on the personality type of both you and your equine. I teach you to teach your donkey to follow you as a fair leader, listen, connect and follow. This fosters a strong foundation of kinship and leadership which in turn allows you and your equine to achieve your goals, animal assisted therapy (hospital visits, nursing homes) standing for the farrier, trailer loading and trail riding.
Donkeys are unique and deserve to be treated with dignity, respect and patience. Donkeys are incredibly intelligent, reflective and deep thinkers. This is often misunderstood and fuels the cultural myth of donkeys as stubborn and unintelligent. They are not! They are very smart and know when a human does not have their best interest at heart.
When training, I use only resistance-free techniques. I train the owner to use words, facial expressions, voice and timing. NOT CLICKER TRAINING. Training a donkey can be challenging as donkeys do not learn and respond like a horse. Donkeys are visual learners and are seriously into self-preservation. Donkeys require you to think ahead and have a positive plan and you must move and respond On Donkey Time ™ meaning never drill a donkey. Donkeys gravitate towards firm leadership and clear, calm boundaries. In this way donkeys inspire us to cultivate our finest human qualities.
I invite you to join me and learn more by participating in our Online Training Courses. All video training courses can be taken to the farm using any smart device. Each video series has a written PDF to print out and learn Melody’s training program.

Donkeys are the exotic Desert Equine. Donkeys require a serious diet of low sugar and low protein hay to stay healthy. Shelter and clean water is a must. Donkeys need another donkey to live with to be healthy physically, emotionally and mentally. Donkeys have photographic memories. Donkeys are visual learners. Donkeys require a dry paddock for the majority of their day. Donkeys evolved from the desert. Try creating fences and gates to ensure your donkey gets exercise and eats some green grass for limited amounts of time. Studies have proven if we let our easy keeper equine eat 6:00am to 10:00am the sugar content will be lower in our pastures. Never feed alfalfa hay, grass clippings, bread, or pears, apples to your donkey. A bite of an apple once in a while is safe but too much is going to cause colic. I simply do not feed apples to my donkeys. I love my donkeys and do not want to bury my donkeys. Apples can ferment and there is a chance of colic.
• A male donkey is called a jack.
• ‘Burro’ is the Spanish word for donkey. Wild donkeys in the U.S.A. are called burros.
• A female donkey is called a jenny or jennet.
• A mule is the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse (mare).
• A hinny is the offspring of a male horse (stallion) and a female donkey (jenny).
Donkeys need dry pastures and paddocks as their hooves were made to live in the desert.
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY TWO AND FOUR-LEGGED!
