Ended up on a good note today with goose. But he started out pretty buggery about Lead ropes and halters and me touching him. So we worked on a little bit of a catch me game. I put pressure on his hip and pushed him and pushed him and pushed him until he looked at me, and then I would turn around and walk away and try to get him to follow me. Took a little while, he got pretty hot and sweaty. But he got there. I spent a lot of time flicking my long line all around him on the ground and up over his back, and around his legs. It’s gonna take a lot of of this to get him over being afraid of ropes being around him. but we ended on a good note, he was calm and semi OK with the ropes being flicked around him at the end.
