Donkey Training Tips {FREE Training Planner}

I’ve read many training tips over the years for equine, dogs even goats. One of the best tips I’ve read was to keep a journal, set official goals and get my donkeys on a more regular training schedule. I couldn’t do it without a Donkey Training journal planner of some kind!

If you have a Donkey then you can be a donkey trainer

I set training goals all the time. This year (2019) a few of my goals were, to train Jeb to drive and to train Jasper into a great hiking buddy and continue his riding training.

I also wanted to start exploring some different bodywork methods to see if they could work for donkeys, like TTouch.

Watching case studies on the different donkeys is helpful too. Very helpful when making my own case studies to help me understand my donkeys better. (A case study page is included in the journal)

I knew to keep on track I would need a planner or journal or some sort. I ordered a Horse training journal but it was a waste of money. There weren’t any goal-setting pages or daily planner pages.. just a bunch of notebook lines and sappy horse quotes. Not what I needed to be successful with my donkeys.

Being a very planner oriented person, I set out to make my own, which kept me on track so that I not only stayed the course and accomplished my goals but I accomplished more than my goals!

Donkeys taught me really fast that to own a donkey is to become a trainer.

Where to start can be difficult though! Here’s how I start a plan:

I start with the goal setter page. That is my purpose.
Then, I gather the donkey training information I need (videos, Youtube, books, membership clubs) to set the plan to reach that goal into steps. I gather the training aids I need which you can read more about here: Donkey Training Information {My Top 5 Training Aids}
I record the lesson plan, progress or set-backs. I take notes and make a case study to help me understand my donkey better. There are pages in my journal for each of these things.
