So work continues with the 'velcro monster'. 9 times out of ten she is totally fine with it, then she will have a little spook.
Right now I am working with it while just standing by her head, but I want to be able to place the strip actually on her and rip it off without her being bothered.
WWYLM is coming on, but slowly. I am considering using the headcollar for this, just to give her a little more guidance, and prevent her taking a minute or so out to have a munch on the new hay in the lean-to! I think that asking her to do it completely at liberty is just making it a step too far. After all I taught this exercise to Tommy using a headcollar and loose leadrope, and he became very very good, very quickly. After all, there will be times when she will have to wear a headcollar and be led, for example when we start going out and about, so we may as well make it have very positive associations.
