Today we taught Ash to walk through a ladder.
This assists with rear end awareness and teaches concentration on an obstacle and doing a behaviour prior to gaining a reward.
The first step is to walk backwards through the ladder slowly and reward any paws within the confines of the ladder. Doesn't matter at the beginning if not all the feet are in there - just reward for any attempt.
Other photos show the end of session one with ash offering the whole ladder with all four feet.
This was the product of just one session of a total of 4 reps.
Shes' such a clever girl.
See Ash stretch!!!!
No actually this was Ash trying to reach for a moth on the wall but its a cool photo.
And lastly the sad Tervs - waiting for mum to come back up from the paddock.
Are you sure its not our turn????
