Getting to work

With our recent news of officially being accepted Alanna and I have gone over all the stuff we need to start working on! Since he is so laid back naturally I have never done any desensitizing work with him. He is fine with 90 % of things, or gets over it quickly, but that 10 % is some of the weirdest stuff that he reacts to!

So today, after getting his pedicure, I took him out to the arena with a big tarp. Im pretty sure he has never seen one. I laid it on the ground, walked onto it, and asked him to walk over it. He stuck his nose down and started frisking it with his nose! Then when I asked him to step on it he walked right on! After walking over it a few times I grabbed it and started laying it over him. He was unsure at first but settled down and never tried to run away from it.
