Stuart's Boat Training II, cute little mouse

Little Stuart's boat training is progressing well. My aim is to have him feel very comfortable and safe in his boat, enjoy being there and staying put no matter what happens around him. To do this I am using three behavioural tendencies of mice: wanting to be with family and those they love, wanting to feel safe and cozy in a little nest and the joy they get when exploring new things and learning about the world. Suart just loves it when I spend time with him, to him training time equals love. He also likes to meet the other animals on the farm, he is especially fond of Butterfly the cat, Brooke the dog and Tinkerbell the sheep. He feels very safe and cozy in the cab of the boat and he really enjoys it when I allow him to explore the natural world around him, even if it is in a controlled, safe and limited way. Because of all this he just loves his boat, he hops right in when I show it to him and stays there quite happily when I take him around the acreage.
