My Zinnia

And we know it's a fox, because about 6 feet ahead of us on the path is the fox, and she's following its exact trail. The only reason she didn't see the it was because she was too busy sniffing.

Tempo is the kind of dog who pushes for physical affection from almost any human (leans in for pets, bumps her nose under your hand to solicit attention, etc.) but it is especially sweet to watch her seek affection from Dune in exactly the same ways.

We might need to get this kid into weight pull 👀

Jo Laurens at Force Free Gundog. Her book is the first time I properly appreciated that Force Free Training is not simply "training without the punishment quadrant". She kickstarted my self-evaluation of how I train from the very start and led to me seeking out resources to re-learn the reward based dog training foundations properly. I cannot wait for her sequel book (as FFG is a beginner focussed book)

Catja B Pedersen. I took her offcue course and had my mind blown on how versatile shaping, clickers and errorless learning can be for every single foundational dog skill. Finally started to understand what clean training mechanics and errorless loops in training actually are. Started to learn how to actually "set up for success" through structured training sessions.

Sarah Owings. She expanded on my errorless skillset and I still need to take Control is an Illusion from her to make sure I'm not missing out on any fundamental skills. Critically, learning how to let control go and quit micromanaging dogs.

Agnieszka Janarek. My first introduction to how I can use opt in procedures, readiness checks and do dog sports with my dogs in a cooperative choice based framework. Also provided a very comprehensive trainers toolbox course to repair the holes in my dog training foundations since my reward systems and training set ups and reward processes all super sucked actually. How I needed that

Sharon Carroll. Broadened my horizons on how I can both use errorless, force free training methods, build and improve on choice based dog training and all of it in a dog sports competitive environment. Really started to learn about ring readiness and outside-of-the ring acclimatisation checks and consent checks.

Let us suppose that the "average" horse would have equal proportions of all these parts. The degree to which each part in this poll deviates from the "average" size (20% of total) will determine how large or small that part of our horse will be (i.e a horse with only 10% in Legs will have legs half the size of the average horse).

First, let's pull up the poll results alongside an average looking horse. I have calculated the size of each part of our horse in relation to Average Size.

Next we will adjust our horse's components according to the specifications.

Finally, let us properly assemble these parts and see how it looks.
