About the Author

Dr. Patti Dammier provides extensive experience in horse training and professional research and education to offer an innovative approach that uses scientific evidence to teach basic principles of basic change. Besides her experience training horses, her degrees include a PhD in psychology and a Master’s in Education, specializing in curriculum development and teaching behavior modification programs to create optimal learning environments. Concerned about the lack of behavioral literature describing the training of horses Patti continues to collect data and write about the use of behavior science for training horses. Behavior modification brings the dependability of a consistent approach to develop a positive approach to learning and training environments. Horses need to have the comfort of knowing what is expected and the consistency of methodical training instead of the latest fad. Living more than half of her life in Europe afforded Patti the opportunity to study riding in the best schools in Spain, Portugal, England, and Germany. Not only does she have riding and training expertise, but the knowledge to use behavior modification to implement those skills. Quality education consists of knowledge and not a series of faddish shortcuts. Knowledge of the basic principles of behavior modification provides the groundwork to teach horses the behavior we want and make our relationships with horses positive.
