Tia didn't want the halter on today, but was quite happy to stick around so we played at liberty instead. I sent her off on the circle with just a suggestion, she walked round and bunny hopped over the barrels, then turned to look at me so I allowed her to come in for a quick scratch then sent her off again and asked for a trot which she did with just a lift of my hand and a smooch, wow!!! lots of head tossing, and I asked her in again this time I gave her a treat. She has so much play drive, so now we have a lbe! Stick to me is better at liberty than on-line! I tried trotting with her but she becomes very exuberent, lots of head tossing and all four feet leaving the floor, frightens me to death I must admit. Another light bulb moment... I'm not playful enough for her! flippin heck! where am I going to get that from? and how do I learn to become big enough so she doesn't start dominating me?
A great play session that's left me with loads more questions... again!

Your doing great Cheryl, you have only had her a few weeks and are finding out so much about her already. She obviously feels very relaxed in her new home and that might be allowing all her character to show up. what a relationship you guys are going to have!!!!!
