Training Donkeys ‘Back up’ (Part of my Donkey Training Level 3)

Training donkeys for a good 'back up' is always at the top of my priorities!
Donkeys I'm training typically start learning to back up during leading liberty sessions in my Level 1 training, but backing up at liberty and backing up when I ask can be different for the donkey.
I start using pressure/release more frequently in my Level 3 training. By now the donkey knows me, we've established a good relationship and the donkey knows I'm not going to hurt them.
I use +R techniques with pressure/release a lot. With some animals it's thought you will poison your cues by combining any other technique with +R but I've not found this to be the case with donkeys at all! They are so smart!
So long as I am using gentle pressure and never harsh, scary, or excessive pressure! Remember, gentle but firm always when asking with pressure.
