syne7 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Hello, I started socializing Loki at my wife's barn so I can take him to Horse Shows when she competes. I've taken him about 4 times and he hasn't barked yet. Do you think that is enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOBELHOWLUC49 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Well horses and dogs have gotten on for a long time historically and the more they are familiarised from an early age the better. `Just remember a horse spooked has a deadly weapon the hoof. So Good behaviour is a must. My Mum has 3 Horses and a dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmscott Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 · Hidden Hidden What I prefer is that my dogs ignore prey animals. So what I would do is treat and praise on looking away from them. Paying attention and watching them is a predatory action, and could spook a horse. Link to comment
