click/treat for bitting...

my original plan for a friday night was some in hand work - that, of course, requires that i get a bitted bridle in her mouth...

so the plan changed to click/treat for touching th ebridle, the plan being to end up with bit in mouth ..

no way jose!

she'll touch it no bother... but don't try the bit

the tooth person is coming 10th may - i have to wonder whether molly has an issue that is making the bit uncomfortable?

in the past we've been on 6 month visits, and this one was a planned 9 month .. mmmm maybe go back to 6, see what she says on the 10th!

in the meantime, my black office boots have been taken to spain...

You'd think with tooth care that regular that Molly would be fine taking the bit. It's not like 9 months is a long time in all things tooth.

no, but her past history (when i got her hated bits, quite dangerous! and had 6 months bitless to help get over that before going to something more suited to her mouth) combined with a possible tooth issue would be relevant...

So now you too are barefoot??? *G*

Hard to say what is bothering Molly about the bridle, but getting her teeth checked is a good idea.

LOL, jean.
