		<description><![CDATA[I have some friends who use treats when training. For some reason they either think this is the same as clicker training (which does use treats) or that it is more acceptable to them then clicker training because it is just a &#8220;reward&#8221; for hard work but is not training. Both are fallacies and as [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=commonsensehorsemanship.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8038328&amp;post=610&amp;subd=commonsensehorsemanship&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
