11d • 💚 Groundwork to Liberty
Standing still
I have a question 😊, I watched the first bonus video of teaching them to stand still today and I have been reflecting a bit. I instinctively did this when Breeze went through a phase of scratching herself on the stable door as she was so rough 🤭 and it did stop that behaviour. However I think there may be more work to do here now I am thinking on it - in the evening she comes in from the field and is tied or stood at liberty on the yard and she is fine for a bit but then she starts to get impatient, pulls grumpy faces and paws the ground. She will do this even if she has a haynet. She did this this evening - she rushes me but when I begin groundwork with her - tonight we did a bit of mirror work lowering the head - she is then engaged and focused and the impatient behaviour stops. Should I remove the haynet and make a game of it - being parked in a spot. I can stop the pawing but what about the grumpy faces? Thank you 😊
