I mean how hard is it to carry around a pocket of treats for an animal? Once they associate you with the treat and kind attitude they are more apt to identify with you as one of the pack/herd and follow you around.
I've worked with horse, donkeys, mules, goats, and pigs. They are all the exact same in respect to training. Treat them with respect and positive feedback and they well follow you anywhere. But, fuck up the training or have some dick like that author do the wrong training and it screws everything up for the animals and they develop stubbornness very quickly. It isn't cut and dry, but explaining requires a lot of text I'm not writing.
