Sahara's Mystic Moon: Camel Playing with her Balls! Part 1 of 2

(Part 1 of 2)
It's now been 6 weeks since Sahara's come home and her training has taken on a new twist. Since she's discovered she can run me out of the pen (I'm working on fixing that problem next with the help of another trainer!) I opted to train her from the outside of the pen.

She's already learned how to cush (lay down), back up, side pass (more like get over) pick up and give me both her front feet, crawl and now she's learning how to advance from rolling a small child sized soccer ball around her pen, to a medium sized Equine Activity Ball that I just purchased from Stacy Westfall's website. (http://www.westfallhorsemanship.com) Worth every penny, btw!!!

In this video I share her progress thus far, as well as a few clips of her reaction to the Equine Activity Ball, which she LOVES! *All of the above is done totally thru voice commands only, as she's become aggressive and territorial in her pen and is pushy on her halter and lead. I've approached 2 other Horse Whisperers (one of whom has worked side by side with the famous Monty Roberts!) and so far, even though they've both been game to assist me, the jury's still out as to whether or not they'll help me get her past this issue with being pushy and yes, dangerous. (I've seen her have a high speed meltdown the first time I told her 'NO!". It's not pretty and could be potentially very dangerous. Thus, I need to have someone else help me establish sacred space without invoking her wrath.) Does anyone know of a professional camel trainer in Arizona who'd be willing to help me?!!! I'm not sure I'll see these horse whisperers again- can't say that I blame them either if they never show back up... lol... she's really sweet- just needs to understand humans are not balls and should not be pushed around or laid on top of!
