Osierlea’s Training Philosophy
“The most important thing is to not stop questioning”. ~Albert Einstein
Osierlea’s training system is based upon:
An impetus to the development of this system was an increasing disillusionment over many years, with some
modern training methods – ‘Push and Resist’, ‘Drive & Hold”, and the use of coercion, maintenance beating, and
gadgets.
“The conventional view serves to protect us from the painful job of thinking”. ~John Kenneth Galbraith
That is not just an admonition to be imaginative or creative or whimsical, but also to draw on other areas of
expertise - the sciences (particularly physics/mechanics, veterinary science, behavioral science, physical
therapy), and other disciplines (martial arts, dance, pilates, vaulting, skating, dog-dolphin-and-parrot training
etc.).
Lay-friendly publications such as “Nature”, “Science”, and ‘Scientific American” can sometimes yield more
insight than a ‘dressage’ treatise titled “How to do a Perfect Half Halt”. Much insight can be gleaned from
sources like Dr. Hilary Clayton, Dr. Temple Grandin, Dr. Gerd Heuschmann, and other experts in related
fields.
