First voluntary contact! He's very scared of people, but I think I can win him round with sweeties!
Shamelessly using Ivan here. He is by no means a super star, or a role model, but he is very confident, and good to handle - so he's getting lots of attention at the moment, to show Duncan that humans are actually pretty cool!I use my golden oldie super star as a role model when I get a new one that needs to develop confidence. Even though he can do everything well when he’s ‘teaching’ he gets loads of praise & rewards. Works every time.
Ivan is being an almighty brat! He's getting rather more treats than he needs, mostly to occupy him while I'm playing with Duncan. He thinks life is pretty brilliant at the moment!Hopefully Ivan is telling him just how much he has landed on his feet with you. That's quite a bit of progress in a short time!
