Training Products for Donkeys

Sometimes donkeys respond to certain training techniques just a little differently than mules and horses do. I created materials in this training series to give you information emphasizing the specific uniqueness of donkeys in the world of equines.

Nutrition, sequential training and a logical approach with behavior modification are the keys to a successful relationship with your donkey. Although many of the exercises and techniques are the same, some are specific to donkeys and I'll be right there with you to answer your questions and keep you on track.

Donkeys, like mules, form close bonds with those who train them. Therefore it is critical that you be involved in the training process and have the right tools to achieve your training goals. For the ultimate training and condition, the entire DVD series is applicable to donkeys. Specifically, DVDs 1 - 3 and DVDs 8 - 10 are the minimal we advise. Some things to remember are to use the DVD series in sequence. DVD 8 covers nutrition and maintenance and should be used from the beginning of your training. Each DVD should take six months to a year to complete. See more detailed information on the use of the training materials.
