[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1718890, member: 39018"] Bigger rig... they're creatures of habit, and if required, they will conform to whatever becomes "the normal routine/practice". Hook her to a tractor, and move slow and steady at the start, but don't stop. Walk regularly, and a long way, go places she isn't expecting, so she learns that she has to conform to what YOU are going to do, instead of her being able to dictate dominance to you. She's learned that she can rebel/refuse and get away with it. It's like I tell the kids with the cats in the yard... DON'T stop or slow down for 'em. You'll not be doing them any favors if you do, cause they'll get run over eventually (we live on a paved road). If they're stopping in front of you when you're walking, nudge them convincingly firmly IN STRIDE without a change of your pace, so that they learn that "normal" is "whatever is approaching ALWAYS has the right of way, and it WILL run you over if you don't get out of the way". You're heifer needs to learn that when you're leading her, YOU'RE in charge. If she's willing to fight the lead rope, tie her to a post, and let her fight it out with that first. THEN move on to leading her yourself, or with the Ranger. [/QUOTE]
