Liberty

I am trying to play more at liberty with Benny. The first session he stuck by me and played nicely. Today he was very much doing his own thing, and upped my energy with a big breath out send him out and he just cantered round the arena not paying much attention to me. I sent him out when he decided to stop with out me telling him to but he did stop and turn and face me when I did a big breath in, and he waited ’til I relaxed. We played with walking round the barrels and he stuck by me for the first barrel and then decided to walk off round the arena. We walked round together and he stopped when I stopped but he wasn’t very connected and soon got bored. Need to do more of this, although he seems better connected after an online session first.

Tomorrow I have a friend coming so we can go out round the lanes.
