The Trailer

Yesterday I took Sparrow out of his pen and decided to see if he would load into a trailer. Sparrow walked up to the trailer with flared nostrils and wide eyes but on a loose lead. I stepped into the trailer and waited for him to decide whether it was scary or ok, after just a few minutes he slowly climbed in with his front feet, paused, then brought up his back feet.

Still wide eyed but respectful of the halter  we walked to the front of the trailer and paused, then turned around and walked out. Instead of lunging out Sparrow walked to the edge and paused then slowly stepped out. We repeated the process three times before Sparrow finally got bored with it and became more interested in grass. I am so happy with his progress, he is smart and very willing. Even when he is freaked out or scared he respects the halter and tries.
