I've yet to come across any crossover trainers, or positive-from-the-get-go trainers that have switched back to/over to aversive/dominance/alpha-type training. I think that says a whole lot without having to elaborate why.

This lady never divorced herself from aversive training techniques, it seems. I'd call her a "balanced trainer", not a clicker trainer by any means. The fact that she found conflict tells me she never fully got over the other methods and/or use of force/fear in training horses (you think the dog training community is aversive, you should see what is done to horses, and people don't even bat an eye about it. It's disgusting.)
Notice how she abandoned clicker training when she ran into trouble with one of her horses, and then criticizes "clicker training" when she actually apparently was just running with a bunch of nasty people (supposedly).

my pet peeve... "balanced trainer" . As far as I can tell, it means "I just hurt my dog a little"

The whole balanced trainer thing is just a way of trying to make the use of aversive training more "palatable." After all these "balanced" trainers use all methods shocking, collar pops, and don't forget they even use positive reinforcement when they can!
