(if its something like a tarp).

Keys: 1. plan ahaed exactly what behavior you want
to change 2.
SHORT sessions to avoid burn-out. 3. raise the bar
in VERY small
increments- the goal is NOT to push the horse to the
point where
he can be corrected but to to have as many
rewardable attempts
as possible  4.  if he back-slides, go back tot he
beginning,
well withint he envelope, and stay there for awhile
before
slowly 'raising the bar'.  If he REALLY mlets down,
take a few
days off, swtiching to somethign he knwoes and is
comfortable
with before resuming the de=spooking training 4. 
Always start
and end each session well within the 'comfort
envelope' so as to
start and end on a positive note.  5.  Be lavish
with
praise/treats for really good attempts.
