What is Priority to Positive®?
Via Nova’s goal is to introduce Positive Reinforcement (R+) training methods into the traditional horse world in a way that they will be understood, accepted and adopted. As a practical means to move forward, Via Nova has developed an approach called PRIORITY TO POSITIVE®.
Positive Reinforcement is a powerful means of motivating and communicating with any animal (or human!). Via Nova is committed to developing R+ principles and tools that are practical and advantageous in the riding and handling of horses in the real world.
