forgot!!!

to write up Janines lesson from last Monday.... so much to think about!
Janine was happy to tie in with the plan that Cathy had set the day before, could job they know each other, although Janine said the circles were for me not Tia! to be honest I know my confidence is half the battle so if circles are working why fix it? I do understand that using obstacles is what's going to help Tia become more obedient in the long run.
We started doing whatever we wanted to warm up before doing touch all over then foot placement. Squeeze through the tyres, asking her to stop with different zones next to the tyres, the further away I was the more Tia didn't want to stop, dominance I think but not sure. Sideways was good, Janine was really pleased when Tia came away from the fence, rearing up and trying to avoid the task, and I didn't loose my focus Yay! Sideways in front of a pole was more challenging but we managed it in a fashion! sideways over the tyres wasn't happening, we'll have to work on that one.
Trailer loading was great, Janine thinks Tia is nearly ready to go somewhere. When we shut the back door Tia lost some confidence but she did stay in there.
That's a bit short for a 3 hour lesson... I'll write up more as and when I remember things.
