Another very special play day with Z. She's showing her left brain side more confidently now - head snaking when I asked for a circle, but then obedience when I persisted without getting pushy or emotional. Then SHE decided that she would trot the cavaletti - then, part way over - jump the last two! She maintained direction and looked where she was going and maintained the trot while she either swerved around or jumped over her new log obstacle.
THEN, I let her loose while I cleaned up. She let me come back to her her rub her back. I worked on lead by the tail (nope, she thought she'd lead) and lead by the ear (must release just as she is thinking of relaxing), and got a bit of a circle. Then put my arm around her neck and walked over to the halter. She reached toward it.
My heart is soaring.
