Methods
Kyra's positive and force-free methods rely upon lure-and-reward training, marker training, bridge and target, and shaping. Instead of traditional pain and intimidation techniques, Kyra teaches discipline with the kinder "pressure and release" method popularized by the gentle horse whisperers of the natural horsemanship movement.
