Grounded in Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), social cognitive animal training approaches horses as cognitive participants who learn through sensory processing, social meaning, and choice-based participation. Rather than prioritizing speed, repetition, or performance, this framework invites trainers to slow down and attend to how understanding actually forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on applied experience across species and decades of observation, this book explores how learning unfolds when horses are allowed time to think, space to process, and the freedom to disengage without consequence. It challenges common assumptions about compliance, motivation, and control, offering instead a model rooted in responsibility, clarity, and ethical restraint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a collection of techniques, nor a promise of quick results. It is a framework for trainers who are willing to adapt first, listen longer, and recognize that true learning is often quiet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten for horse professionals, trainers, and dedicated learners, this book is an invitation to reconsider what training becomes when understanding, not performance, is the goal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gaby Dufresne-Cyr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1997638134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781997638131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dogue Shop Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.22d","brand":"Gaby Dufresne-Cyr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48659883655423,"sku":"9781997638131","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-cognitive-horse-training-gaby-dufresne-cyr-9781997638131","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
