A Good Attitude!

Today we had a really good session on the traveling friendly game. He used to pick up speed when I tried to do traveling circles, but today I just played the friendly game while we walked around in small circles. It got him used to me moving forward while he maintained gait at the walk. He even gave me a really good downward transition from a trot to a walk and then he blew out. After we did the weave pattern a few times, I got him to trot towards me while I ran backwards. Normally he would back his ears, but since I've really been inforcing "wipe that look off your face," he came at me with two eyes and two ears! Then we had some UDT. He licked salt while I tried to get the remaining winter hair off of him.
