Tuff's first time out of the pen and he doesn't seem to be phased by being out in the open. This tarp was laying on the ground, so Kirstin decided to see if Tuff would walk across it. At first he wasn't to sure, but once Kirstin stepped on it, he figured that if she could do it, then he could do it, too.
Next, came time to start trailer training. Kirstin wants to take Tuff to her drill team practice this Friday evening, but he needs to know how to load in a trailer. This was Tuff's first try, and I think he was more curious than anything else, because he went straight on even with Kirstin staying on the ground.
Oh, what a good boy! Tuff went straight on and then enjoyed his reward-a nice scratching on the neck.
Although, Tuff hasn't been taught a back up cue yet, he backs off the trailer each time. Kirstin actually loaded Tuff 4 different times, each time with him going on easier & easier. Later that evening she loaded him again 4 different times.
Looks like Tuff will be going with us this Friday night.
