Lesson one - makeshift halter

First thing to do was to drape the lunge whip all over him. He's had this done before briefly, and was never concerned about it so I figured I would start with the familiar.



He was not worried about it going all over his body, legs, head etc. Then I made a kind of halter with it over his nose. I pulled on it gently and he stepped towards me. The minute he moved towards me, I released and praised him. Don't think he really gives a damn about me talking to him, in fact I think he'd prefer it if Id just shut the heck up and give him some peace and quiet.
