Nikki, good call on the fathers day dinners. And I am glad you are continuing to go out and have fun with H. Fantastic job letting him know that his behavior at the club was making you feel uncomfortable. I think you sound good, and realize that H is retreating a little. I read a thought today that might make sense to you, as I train my horses with this philospophy but tend to forget it in dealing with my W. And was reminded of this in an email I got tonight. "You can lead a mile, but you can't push an inch." You are doing a great job of leading by example, but when we start to push to hard, back off and they will follow if the groundwork is there. Anytime I want to get a horse to do something, it has to be "his" idea. I am finding out through this DB process it is the same with our WAS. Peace! Love! GAL!
