Floating? Been there done that...

Started float training today, and he was on the float with the bum bar across and the door shut within about 15 minutes.  And that was with me taking it really slowly and just waiting with a loose lead for him to choose to step on.  Clever wee lad. 



I started out clicking and giving him carrots for each foot on the ramp and each movement forward, but once he saw his food bowl on the floor he decided it was worth stepping right up inside.  I'm glad he's decided carrots are edible, but he definitely still prefers hardfeed.

We do need to do a bit more work on backing though, he forgot how to walk backwards when it was time to come off and we had to turn around and walk down head first instead.  Luckily he's still small enough to do that! 

I leased the float for two weeks so will have plenty of time to keep getting him on and off, and taking him for wee drives.  We may even go on a proper outing next weekend.
