Zat net nog een aardige post te lezen.
Niet direct een antwooord op je vraag misschien, maar wel een interessante gedachte.
Hier het relevante stuk
Hello, I am Mavis, I am a mentor hoofgroom have been clikcer training
for many years taken 3 seminars with Alexandra and only take clients
that will allow me to add clicker training to their horses tool box
because it makes my life as a trimmer easier and establishes a
relationship.
it seems to me that we are assuming that we can read the horses mind
when we break cues into negative and positive. Of course we arent
talking about whacking an animal with a 2x4. Relationship,
consistency and trust make it positive or negative not the cue itself.
Pressure cannot be necessarily set as negative
If my husband grabs me by the shoulders and moves me I assume there is
a good reason for it and don't resist, however if a stranger at the
mall grabs me by the shoulders and moves me i will resist. Same "cue"
differnt relationship.
IMHO relationship is the buffer that creates the negativity or
positivity. Not the food, not the giving to the bit or the 'cue"

The opposite of positive reinforcement is no reinforcement, not correction
