a horse's match-to-sample adventure
Renowned animal behavior expert Ken Ramirez firmly believes that we often underestimate the abilities of animals. Take horses, for example. While they are widely recognized for their physical strength and agility, what lies beneath their impressive physicality is an intelligent mind that thrives on engaging and enjoyable learning experiences.
In this captivating video, a horse takes center stage to showcase its remarkable associative learning skills through a training exercise called Match-to-Sample. In this exercise, the horse is tasked with identifying a specific object from a collection of both familiar and unfamiliar items. Match-to-Sample is a fundamental concept in Ken's Concept Training: Let’s Get Started course and forms the basis for teaching broader concepts such as Modifier Cues, Adduction, Mimicry, and even Counting!
It is astonishing to witness the immense potential of animals when training becomes a source of excitement and joy. You can embark on this entertaining journey with your own animal companion—whether it be a horse, dog, pig, chicken, or other eager learner—and unlock a world of learning possibilities in Ken’s online courses.
