Trailer Training

So, I know she's still a baby! And I know there's no rush, but... I also know that I want to take her on adventures! And in theory, while she's still small and much less mighty! Especially if I'll have to handle Dan too. :) BUT.. baby steps. First thing.. make sure she's comfortable with the trailer again. And she's not yet. Partly because the ramp seems to end up on a hill so it's not super stable. So we've been practicing. And in the future, I'll try to pull forward and make the ramp more stable. 

We played the other day with Dan and I had him tied to the trailer because I remembered. She went in once and then shook a little before she backed off. I think that scares her too. But she did it. And got cookies. And then Dan... was freaking ADORABLE and stole the show. He kept snaking his head in for cookies too... pushing his nose sideways and pricking his ears. Basically looking adorable instead of like a dragon. But I was running out of cookies!! I felt bad too because he would occasionally chew on her or stick his head in the way and interrupt her getting on. But I wanted to tell him how amazing he was for being sweet. But anyways... we did eventually get on and off. 

So then today we practiced without Dan. It was still hard. Ha ha! She is stubborn! But not quite as dramatic as Dan has been. BUT... we did get on and off. So... we'll continue again.
