Flash did great on the trail yesterday. This was the third time he ran along side Doc as we walked down the the trail around the ranch. Trainer Betsy walked as I rode Doc. All of us got some exercise. That was great! I can't believe the difference in Flash. He's now so comfortable around Doc, he'll lie down inches away from his back legs when he's tied at the rail....too close, maybe. I'm a little worried he'll get stepped on.
We still have more training to do. For now we've kept it at a walk, but we need to do some trotting to see if that bothers Flash. Our goal now is to have Flash stay out of the arena when we're working; either lying down outside the rail or wandering around completely ignoring us. He's pretty good at ignoring us, particularly when he's being called to come back from somewhere.
Flash is a very good dog.
