It’s one thing to watch a seasoned mule trainer take a problem mule and begin to soften that animal and it’s another to watch the owner do the exact same thing.

In this video you will see Steve Edwards coach a mule owner through the steps of approaching the mule. You’ll hear Steve identify what to look for, when to step forward, when to step back, when to move him off and what to do when he finally allows you to get close. What should your disposition be when you’re approaching the mule? What is your mule communicating with his head? What’s he saying with his tail? Is he trying to tell you something with his ears? You bet’cha!

You want to be able to catch your mule on your terms. You want to be able to approach him without him getting all tense and high strung - you want a soft animal that is ready to listen to whatever your next ask is. Watch a real life mule owner go through the process himself and discover what you can take and apply to your own training.
