This is thimble learning to stay where she is put! She only started this yesterday so I'm incredibly impressed with how quickly she's catching on! #thimble #sectiona #welshmountainpony #drivingpony #poniesofinstagram #clickertraining #positivereinforcement #goodfoundations #babysteps #bigprogress #sciencebasedtraining #goals #acheivement
Stella getting her legs right whilst doing some. Pole work Today, core workout for the pair of us!
Having thrown huge tantrums. In the field and nearly flattening me on the way in its safe to say my dragon likes her forage block! At least the mud makes for good grooming practise! #stella #sectiond #welshcob #maresofinstagram #chestnutmare #horsegrooming #bordembusting #horsetreats #horsetagram #instahorse
Apollo and his mummy doing some groundwork today. 15 mins in and he’s gone from refusing to back up to getting the hang of it. As you can see he’s still distracted but for a first session he did an awesome job! Well done guys. Incredibly proud of how these guys have done since Apollo first arrived!
A little bit of work on commands at a distance. As you can see willow is not super quick at responding to these yet but practise makes perfect! So many advantages to having a do . That responds to commands at a distance!
Some off lead heel work and practising our stay. Willow is improving by the day. Six months ago I wouldn't take this dog out in public. Today she's my best pal and we love our adventures. Lots of work still to do but positive reinforcement is working wonders.
Out with willow this morning working some more on recall. The whistle has now been added in and is used alongside the clicker for clear communication
Who needs a lead anyway. Enjoying a walk in the sun with thimble at liberty. She needs to shed some weight so it's a good time for us to practise being at liberty.
Insanely proud of willow today. Not only is her recall coming on in leaps and bounds. She's much keener to spend her time close to me. She also worked incredibly well this morning when it came to helping to bring the sheep in. Not one slip up and she stayed close and calm the whole time. Huge improvements!
