Today when Lynn came to spend time with Arani, I went into one yard and she went into the other. These chaps are soooo chilled out today. Arani knew what was required of him and he went through all the things he has learnt so far...no challenges today- Lynn was the Alpha in his book today...He was just so gracious in everything that he offered- I think Lynn felt so in tune with him- & it showed....
Oscar was just so relaxed it was so much easier- this is the first day he has really started the learning/ training in a relaxed way...Usually he starts off a bit skittery, but today he knew what I wanted and he just did it for me..I think just to show me he knows what I am asking....He is so much lighter on the halter every time now, and that's from the beginning- we didn't have to work up to it today...everything in his time...good it was all his idea to do it so well today...he backs up now between 4 - 8 steps when asked with the slightest shake of the rope....I call him forward and really accentuate the relaxed pose when I ask him forward, he moves his hind quarters with a look now, and today he voluntarily walked alongside me without me asking him to..That felt sooooo good- he wanted to be there YAY!!!!
