Looks scared? Not quite.

When she’s in the box with her head buried, shaking and tail tucked, it’s easy to think she’s scared of the whip cracks. But she’s not. That’s her body overloaded with drive and pressure at the same time.

She’s locked in on the food, running hot, and her nervous system is redlining a bit. The shake isn’t fear, it’s her trying to process all that energy while staying in the game.

The funny thing is she can hold a calm down stay while the whip goes off with no issue. So it’s not the noise, it’s the mix of food drive and pressure that gets her buzzing.

We’ll work it down slowly until she can stay powerful and calm under pressure.

Still the only time I`ve ever tracked someone with a transition from grass, to indoors and concluding in loft space! ...
