I just wanted to hop on here and give R***r a little shout out. Some of you know the struggles behind training this boy. I know I haven't touched on this topic much or posted about it a whole lot, but I wanted to talk about it now.😊
R***r has been pretty rough to train and his aggressiveness has been quite hard to work around. We have discussed options of what to do if this problem persists because of the danger it has become.
Yesterday, when we arrived home, I spent some time out with him and tried to get a connection. I just sang to him and tried to get his attention on me, but for him to see me in a positive way. At the end of our session, he had joined-up with me and was standing with his head a foot or two away from my shoulder! It was such an accomplishment I immediately left the pen. I did the same today, he didn't respond too well. At dinner, I sat down on the mounting block and he ate out of the feed bucket I was holding!👏
I am starting to get to know him little by little. It's like unwrapping a multiple layered Christmas gift! Every little step peels back a layer. I think-even though he's had one-he hasn't ever really been accepted into a herd. A family to call his own. In this new chapter of his life, he needs to learn how to settle in and trust. To find his new family and new home.
If you've been following R***r or been interested in the behind the scenes, thank you. He needs someone to cheer for him apart from us.💗
