Trailer Loading Practice
I was supposed to have a lesson up in the mountains today, but I wouldn’t get into the trailer to go. After 2 hours of progressively worsening attempts, my human gave up in utter frustration and called off the lesson.
Then we started working on a new thing: clicker training. It involved a lot of Apple Jacks cereal, and a little noisemaker thing. Hey, just tell me what I need to do to get more Apple Jacks, and I’m there!
I walked right into the trailer, stood nicely, let her close the divider on me, and backed out nicely later. I can be a good boy if I want to be! Then after a few times that way we did it again, but this time with no halter on. It was fun. Then I didn’t want to get out, because I thought she might have more Apple Jacks hidden in there somewhere.
Maybe I don’t hate getting into the trailer as much as I thought.
