Round Pen Training Part I

Yesterday Ozzy and I began our round-pen training. He was in the pen the day before to scope it out, so yesterday we started to just get him used to the idea. Filming our work helped so much. I learned an incredible amount from going back and watching what we had done... like 90% of our mistakes were really MY mistakes. Can't wait to get to the barn today to continue our work, correct my mistakes, and give him an extra pat for putting up with my shortcomings.

I don't see why that makes any trusted at all...

@Marixxen2 I'm not sure what you're trying to say...?

@xxxligeiaxxx i'm assuming it's the join-up you doing, and that people who do it, do it because the the human is sepposed to gain truset etc. and I don't se why that would get trust nor leadership..?

@Marixxen2 I was working on this with him because the place he was living had terrible turn-out and I wanted to make sure he was getting at least some exercise. I also wanted to spend some time with him in a "work" environment so he could start to understand voice commands. We had very different exercises that we worked on (NOT in a round pen) to build trust. I don't really understand how round-pen work would be a "trust builder" either.

@Marixxen2 It is round pen training, though, I wouldn't call myself a Parelli fan or subscriber. :)

@xxxligeiaxxx hehe, of course: it's possible to work in a round pen without doing the join-up etc. but the words "round pen-training" and "join-up" is a little mixed :/
