We’re going live tonight at 6:30 PM MT 🐴

People ask “Should I even get a donkey?” without realizing how much of that question comes from misunderstanding how donkeys actually think and respond.

Tonight we’re breaking it down:

* Wild burros vs domestic donkeys
* Why donkeys often push into pressure instead of away from it
* Herd dynamics and leadership (it’s not what most people expect)
* Why “stubborn” behavior is usually something very different
* Live Q&A throughout

If you’ve ever worked with a donkey—or are thinking about getting one—this will help you see a lot more clearly what’s really going on.

We’re going live on Training Wild B***os tomorrow at a NEW time for summer ☀️
🕘 9:00 AM MST

Why does your donkey sometimes feel harder to train than it should?

If things feel stuck, inconsistent, or like you’re not making the progress you expected — there’s usually a reason.

Tomorrow we’re talking about what’s really going on underneath that, and how small moments (that are easy to miss) can turn into bigger challenges later.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re going backwards or not sure what you’re missing, this one will help you think about it differently.

B***os Available for Adoption Tomorrow

These burros will be available for adoption tomorrow.

All are untouched and will need time, patience, and thoughtful handling — but each one has the potential to become a willing partner.

I’ll also be offering free clinics starting at 10am if you’d like to see what the gentling process looks like.

Come meet them and start your journey. 🐴

I make How to/Tutorial videos about training wild donkeys. This includes gentling wild BLM burros and unhandled donkeys, groundwork to prepare donkeys by building muscle to support their job, saddle training, and training to pack. I do this because I believe donkeys are largely misunderstood as bein...

Most people think a donkey “gets worse” in training because they’re getting tired, distracted, or stubborn…

But that’s not what I’m seeing.

What if the drop in performance later in a session isn’t about effort at all—but about what the donkey is mentally processing while you’re working?

In this live, I talk about something most people miss:
Why a donkey can start off great… and then gradually fall apart in the same session.

It’s not just about stopping or refusing to move—this shows up in overall performance, focus, and responsiveness.

If you’ve ever felt like your donkey “lost it halfway through,” this will change how you look at training timing.

Most people assume a donkey starts strong and then gets “lazy,” distracted, or stubborn later in a session.But what I see over and over is something very dif...

We’re just ONE WEEK away from our upcoming adoption event… and these donkeys are ready for their next chapter ❤️

Over the past weeks, we’ve been working with them, getting to know their personalities, and helping them build the skills they’ll need to succeed in a new home.

Some are curious.
Some are cautious.
All of them are worth the time.

If you’ve ever thought about adding a donkey to your life—or just want to come learn more—this is a great opportunity to meet them in person.

Come see who you connect with… sometimes they pick you.

We’d love to see you there.

I shared a new video yesterday over on Training Wild B***os, and it’s been really fun seeing your comments and feedback—thank you ❤️

This one is a mix of what life looks like right now with the burros, the progress we’re making, and everything happening behind the scenes.

Also… real life moment 😂 With Dan traveling, I’ve been on full puppy duty—late nights, early mornings, and lots of coffee—and I accidentally muted one funny part where Dan says “look what I can do” 🤦‍♀️

I’ll include that clip in a future video!

I’d love to hear what you think ❤️
