Things are starting to really progress with Lady. Our session today was a good one and I think it was because we were both relaxed and feeling good! We played lots of Friendly game at first and we were both so relaxed she actually fell asleep.(!) When I stopped she woke up and looked at me all " Huuuh?" and I asked her to move backwards by using Porcupine on zone 1 and she responded with a few sleepy steps which was good. And when we finished yielding the FQ and the HQ using Porcupine with the same great results, We continued on to Driving game. I started with step 1 [moving her backwards by tapping the lead line with the CS] and she backed up each time! This was big for us! :] Then we went back to Friendly and I let her sleep some more in the sunshine. Wonderful session. Naturally, Katie Hufton |
