Ninja and Horses Oct 2014

Horses. Ninas only flaw. I can recall him from wildlife, he listens, is a good boy at home… He was pretty excited whenever we met a horse.
The trainer told me I’d have to have ninja wear a backpack for the rest of his life. I refused. I knew there was a better way. For the ordinary person this video isn’t interesting, but with Ninjas history in mind it is just amazing how he has changed due to my persistent, patient training.
At the start he doesn’t even bother following the horses towards the trail. It is me who encourages him to check it out. Also later when we are following the black horse, he prefers to sniff around. This is just amazing and makes me super happy.

Ninja goes heel at the packwalk

There was a discussion if a husky is able to walk heel even with distraction. HEre we have 3 other dogs and at ~ 0:19 the other 3 dogs even find something interesting and run off into the woods.
He can do that as long as I need him to, even with 10 dogs and even if they gnaw at him.

Husky and Horsetraining

Husky and Horsetraining

This is just to demonstrate our progress in training. As you can see he is mostly relaxed. Even though there were 2-3 situations where he would have started to go for the horses – without leash. It is still a huge progress from last year. I see light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
