When first working on tying Lizzie this is kind of what it looked like. Now, this isn't her first time being tied in this particular video, so this is a little mild compared to what it used to be. Trick is consistency and patience. This goes with all animals and all types of training. There's no such thing as rushing any type of training. When we work with animals, we work WITH them, at their pace.

This video is an example of what it was like trying to clean Lizzie's hooves. She would always challenge me and try to get out of getting her hooves down. But, as mentioned in the last video, the key to it all is CONSISTENCY and PATIENCE.
Btw, this was the same day as the last post but before I tied Lizzie the way I did. This video is the reason why I tied her that way.

Getting Lizzie comfortable with being tied is important as it is the first step into getting her comfortable with getting wet when it's time for a grooming. So, today we were able to wet her down a bit in order to get her comfortable for a future full grooming. Stay tuned for the after wet down shenanigans!

Here's Lizzie after 5 days of trying to get her used to being tied up. Thanks to some tips from a fellow horse care taker. She would always try to back away while being tethered which would then cause her back hooves to skid but.....After just 3 days, Lizzie was able to calm down and realize that being tied isn't really scary. #MaikaiPetCare #MPC #OahuPetCare #Oahu #Hawaii #inhomepetcare #DailyVisits #PetSitting #Grooming #DogWalking #Makaha #Waianae #Maili #Nanakuli #Kapolei #Makakilo #EwaBeach
Another blessed day everyone! We have been working with Lizzie for a few months now. At 1 and a half years old she was not used to being haltered and with that she was not used to being on a lead either. It's been awhile now since she's been comfortable with the halter and lead but can still be stubborn from time to time. We have been working on tying her too which took a few goes to get her comfortable but she has gotten there. Video to come! #MaikaiPetCare #MPC #OahuPetCare #inhomepetcare #DailyVisits #PetSitting #Grooming #DogWalking #DailyVisits #Makaha #Waianae #Maili #Nanakuli #Kapolei #Makakilo #EwaBeach #Oahu #Hawaii #PetCareinParadise
My friend, Phoenix!! He needed some extra TLC on Friday because he got a lil spooked! He's a rescue and has had quite a past but it's living the good life now thanks to his people! #Phoenix #MaikaiPetCare #MPC #Oahu #OahuPetCare #inhomepetcare #DailyVisits #PetSitting #Grooming
Aloha, everyone! Meet our newest friends, Martha and Sally! (This may not be their permanent names. They were recently rescued so their names are still in the works.) Martha is a 1 year old and Sally, I believe, is 13 years old. What a lovely pair of mini horses! #MaikaiPetCare #MPC #Oahu #OahuPetCare #inhomepetcare #DailyVisits #Grooming #DogTraining #PetSitting #Boarding
After a nice warm bath you know all tails must shake! #Aurora
With Gizmo and Aurora, it's constant playing and seeing who can jump on the other. Always a good time with these two! #MaikaiPetCare #Gizmo #GizmoandAurora #playdates #sleepovers #PetSitting
Walks with Loki are always full of excitement! Gotta love this guy!
Repeat the Rockin' Cockatoo! More to come!
Lulu getting in a good walk and run! She normally pulls but when you add in a little jog or run it tends to tire them out. This is the result of our exercise! What a good girl! We love you Lulu! See you soon!
