Day Uno......

Well.....the first five min today in the stall was me just lovin on Bentley. Look at him! How could you not? I'm still learning his personality. For gods sake he's only been here two days. But its a great excuse to love on him.



After the inital scratch session was over, he loves to be scratched, we started our baby steps. Now obviously I'm going to teach him how to lead. No shit right? Well, for the life of me I couldnt figure out where to start. I had a total brain fart, omg, wtf, what do I do, where should I start, am I doing this right moment. Total panick mode. So I croutched in the middle of the stall and just watched him. My brain was getting in the way. I always think way too damn much!! Just freakin go on damn auto pilot and you'll be fine. BUT I CAN NEVER FIND THAT SWITCH!! It always has to go on its own. I have to know no one is watching. So damn frustraiting!

Well I finally got my head outta my ass. Bentley looked over and gave me a soft lil nicker. Melted my damn heart instantly. So we took baby steps. Well I took them Haha. In about five min I had him heeding on his right side. He wasnt too sure about me being at his shoulder at first while we were walking. But in a few strides he had his head low and relaxed. We ended with a few down transitions and two back up steps. When I turned and took a step toward him and he took one back I called it quits. I got the back step with no hesitation. End on a good note woman. So all in all the "training" session was only five min at that. I figure he's still a baby. He needs time to still be a baby. His attention span is just about five min. So we wont push it past that. Lil bit at a time and consistant. Thats my goal. So far......its workin.
