Day 5

We worked a LOT with getting her used to rubbing her face. Sophie is pretty sensitive

And then retreat

And then approach...working my way around her muzzle

She got pretty good on the left side

So I moved her feet a little bit more

And then worked on the right side. I had to work twice as long on this side because she really didn't like looking at me with that right eye.

Day 5! Slow and steady wins the race! I can't even try to put the halter all the way on until she gives me the OK with stuff around her head and muzzle. She is very sensitive about her delicate features, and that's ok too! I just have to spend extra time. If I take the time she needs, I won't have to go back later on and fix problems. Thanks for reading!
