Timing is everything. In relation to training donkeys it is extremely important. As soon as the donkey shows any type of positive reaction to your request the handler must release pressure. Otherwise, the donkey does not understand what it is being asked to do. However, too much pressure can cause the donk to shut down. More pressure does not equate to faster response. An increase in pressure can cause the donkey to shut down.
Food rewards can be used and the same rules apply to timing. However, be careful because food can cause other problems. Have you ever put money in a vending machine and not gotten your candy? Most of us would make or kick the machine. You don't want donkeys to see you as a vending machine.
Scratching is also a good was to realize pressure. I use this technique mostly while I am in the saddle. Be sure not to give scratches at the wrong time. Donkey's don't understand encouragement. Stopping to scratch and tell the donkey he can do it only confuses the animal. You were asking it to move forward, but now that it has stopped you are scratching. The donkey won't understand.
