Classical Training by Lori Animal training designed to be beneficial and fun for you along with your equine and canine family members.

We use rewards, positive re-enforcement, patience, and proven science-based methods. I am the trainer at Spirit Keeper Equine Sanctuary and Deseos Arabians & Miniatures LLC. I primarily work with horses and dogs but have also trained various ungulates. On this page I will share with you my views on animal training, rehabilitation, and equitation science (riding). My philosophy and the methods I us

e have been developed over time through personal experiences, academic study, and hands-on training with other trainers and riders. I am always learning more and evolving my training philosophy and techniques based on what I think is best for the animals as I learn from experience, as the animals I work with teach me, and as science learns more about animal behavior and cognition. I will also share information from others that I respect, admire, and continue to learn from every day. Some of these include Jean Luc Cornille of the Science of Motion (equine), Ian Dunbar of the Dunbar Academy (canine), Marijke de Jong of Straightness Training (equine), and Brian Hare of Duke University (Brain Science, Canine Cognition).

We are gaining ground, or should I say our water level is rising? We are close to half way and really want to replace the well as soon as possible to avoid another "no water" crisis as it is sunny, dry, and in the 90s F this week. paypal.com/us/fundraiser/charity/1213006

Thank you! The horses thank you! All the animals are thankful for water!

Knowledge of behavior science has progressed to a point where force-based practices are outdated and unnecessary. Behavior modification across species, including with horses, can be properly managed with evidence-based positive reinforcement and cooperative care techniques. Unfamiliar with this? Contact a certified trainer, behaviorist, veterinary behaviorist, Fear Free practitioner or someone familiar, with low stress handling.
