I’ve come to the conclusion that the ST cavesson we’re using isn’t really helping us. Dino’s quite resentful of it – most likely my fault as he’s been pushy I’ve probably been putting a lot pressure on his nose which he hates anyway – so for the moment we’ll go back to doing the easy stuff again but with his English lunging cavesson instead. We had a bit of a play yesterday with Liz who came to visit and I think it was an improvement. He seemed calmer and less stressed in it so I think this is the way forward!

Lesson with Roz next week which I’m a bit anxious about. Worried he won’t even get on the box and worried she might want to push him more than I’m happy with but we are a stuck and probably do need challenging. Watch this space!
