Played with Barb's Ben, this afternoon. A very LBE. Playful, dominant, mouthy, dominant, big, dogminant - did I mention dominant?
This was our fourth play session. The last one disintegrated into Ben's winning big time by pulling the rope away and running. This time me and Barb savvied up and stayed inside. Plus she had ridden him before I arrived, which also probably helped a lot.
I spent a lot of time chatting to barb while Ben stood out on the line. Did some walk and trot circles with change of direction at walk (very nice changes). He was very pushy for many of the circles, then kept his head turned away from me, but after awhile would peek over and check-in. Was able to have him move his feet into the hoop, despite all his wanting to do was chew on it. Did some porcupine and driving games toward his neck - very hard to move away. Called it a successful day rather than pushing him over the edge!
