Caleb Degen:' Negative reinforcement vs Positive reinforcement and so much more! '

Australian trainer and legend Caleb Degen joins the Podcast crew for what might be our most high-octane episode yet. We dive deep into liberty horsemanship, training philosophy, and the often misunderstood conversation around negative reinforcement vs positive reinforcement.

Caleb shares stories from his life, his training journey, and what it takes to build real connection and trust with horses. From the Australian Outback Spectacular to eagles, dogs, helicopters and everything in between — this episode goes completely off the rails in the best possible way.

We also recorded this the morning after

Packed with laughs, honest conversations, horse training gold, and pure chaos — this is one you don’t want to miss.
