My goals for today were:
-Friendly game: relaxation in zone 5
-Stick to me: in zone two on both sides
-Porcupine game: more feel
-Circling game: two walk circles both ways and disengage
-Driving game: as light as possible
-Yoyo game: 5 steps back phase 1
-Squeeze game: might try a very easy squeeze
-Sideways game: probably not today
-Extras S-pattern send with just finger
Playday report:
Friendly game is getting better and better and she needed to move her feet less. She was relaxed in zone 5 for three string tosses around her hind legs.
Stick to me: I inched into zone 2 on both sides and she did great. She has not trouble turning towards me, but she does have some trouble turning away in zone 2. But zone 1 is perfect, because it was a part of her previous training.
Porcupine game was amazing! I only needed phase one on front and hind quarter yields.
Circling game still having lots of trouble with the disengage, also Brandy was trained to be lunged so she thinks that I am supposed to follow her around and has trouble to maintain gait behind my back. However, she did pass behind my back once without breaking gait.
Driving game was very good. She was light and polite.
Yoyo game was awesome!!!!! She backed up at phase one all the way out on the twelve foot line!!! We exceeded our goal.
I didn't attempt a squeeze or a sideways, because her disengage has to be better.
Another thing that I should mention is that I am making Brandy a custom blue rope halter with rainbow cord decorations on the nose band.
I will post pictures of her in it next session.
You might have seen Brandy in a green or pink rope halter in previous pictures, but the green one was too small and the pink one was too big.
Over all we made great progress today, I am very pleased and Brandy knows it.
