Humans Can Become Stress Eaters
Wonder Why? Food releases endorphins and this makes us feel better. In order to live a healthy life we must work hard to understand why we are reaching for the ice cream. This is a fact. It should brighten your mood because eating comfort foods stimulate endorphins in your brain. Endorphins are the feel good sensation. Donkeys have endorphins in the bran too! Endorphins are natural stress fighters.
Donkey 101 teaches the owner or caretaker how to train using timing, voice, energy, a bite of a carrot for doing the job correctly not a try. A try deserves a massage, releasing endorphins. Endorphins create a bond for both the donkey and the human. Endorphins are released for the donkey and the human as studies have proven how animals heal humans.
Food Is Used As a Reward For Doing The Task Correctly. Food is never given for a try. This is a treat dispenser the donkey learns this is all the human is a treat dispenser. Stop throwing treats at your donkeys as obesity can kill a donkey. A bite of a carrot is safe. Make sure you understand how to use endorphins before attempting to train.
Select Donkey 101 E-TRAINING to get started. Donkey 102 will be released early summer of 2018.
Counter Conditioning
Feeding your donkey a bite of carrot while stressed with the vet or any scary object can change the emotional response. Donkeys will not eat when in FEAR. Take a look at Donkey 101 E-TRAINING to learn how to stay ON DONKEY TIME and help your donkey with scary situations and or triggers. Donkeys have photographic memories and will need time to recover from severe abuse or trauma.
Recovery for an abused donkey will take years but it is well worth your time as helping your donkey will help your life.
