Logan looks like he is in a zen sheep zone here.
We went to work with her again today but I didn't take any pictures. We didn't tie her to the fence at all, just went straight to walking. It went really, really well! She is learning to walk with Logan. We also practiced stopping and getting her to stop next to him and starting like you would do at a show. She should make a really good show lamb. We'll go back again Friday and get her used to be felt up by judges.
I thought this was going to be a long struggle but it is going so quickly! And she is eating real food now so we can start giving her treats which will make things even easier. I'm so glad we decided to do this, we both have so much confidence now about getting our own lambs someday.

Such FANTASTIC news, Christy!!
Way to go Logan!
Sometimes all it takes is a little patience and love. Something that your special Logan seems to be very good at.
He's a pretty incredible boy if I do say so myself. He's always been an animal person and it is really starting to show.
what exactly are you trying to teach this sheep?
We are trying to teach her to walk calmly on a lead, to stop and pose a certain way and to let judges feel her without her moving. All the things a lamb has to do in a show. Logan won't get to show her but we're trying to get practice on what to do.
Good job Logan and Senate. Those are good pictures too. I like the one on top too.
It is impressive that only 4 times she is behaving so well.
Good luck with it all.
Hooray for Logan and Senate! He's a natural, and she seems like a sweetie. I think they're a good pair.
ah, a show pony! I mean, lamb. :)
