Dear Judith,
yesterday whe had such an amazing moment of success that i wanted to share it with you. We had a chance to practice with a trailer and I had no expectations and just tried it with the touch-it and yoyo game. After just 5 minutes he was standing super relaxed inside of the trailer. It is really incredible how much we grew together as a team during the last months and how much your lessons have helped us. Thank you, I am already looking forward to the next lesson.
I just drove home so happpy after training Willi that I needed to text you now. On Sundays theres a lot going on on the road next to the arena- people passing by, screaming kids, dogs, bycicles and I never liked to work then because he was pulling away. Today I was brave enough to go up there, with the long reins first and we even did the circling game and he did not even think about pulling and running away.
And I always try to remember the things you tell me and think - what would Judith do in this situation? He was so connected, considerate and soft and I could keep his attention.
I am just so grateful that you are working with us.
