Truman...

That's what I meant about "how" you train. What "training procedure"
works for one person may not be desirable for another. You train for the
results you want.

For example, I want my horses to "ground tie"....when the lead line is
on the ground, they are effectively "tied". Instead of letting my guys
walk around dragging the lead lines, I hobble...or here at the farm,
just nothing...and I don't go get them....call them to come to me!
