[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1705955, member: 39373"] So I've been asked how I got the halter on to begin with. LOTS of patience and trying. Shes very food motivated. Able to pet her some while shes eating. Til she figures out your close to her. Then she runs away. Took a couple dozen times playing with the halter. Rubbing her with it. Attempting to put it on. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. She never did relax enough to just slip it on. Got the top on like pictured above one night. She got out of it of coarse. Several tries later, I got it on like that again and left a BIG loop for the part that goes under her chin. She decided she was hungrier than normal and I just got lucky and slipped the bottom over her mouth. She ran away. Stepped on it and tightened it up herself! I dont have a chute here. Was about to haul her to a friends and do it that way. But persistence finally paid off. I got to get pretty close this evening without her freaking out. She LOVES tail head scratches and under neck/brisket scratches. I'll keep working with her. Rome wasnt built in a day. No kicking still, even tho I'm scared shes going to.... [/QUOTE]
