Once again, not a study, just a struggle.
Guess which two bitches had a terrible day in which literally everything imploded? Lots of things went wrong and by the end it was a whole hell of a lot of regression. I'm thinking I'm going to step off trailering for a bit. Also gotta figure out a plan for keeping training in a controlled and not tense environment.
today with fox:
trying to teach fox to drop stuff into the laundry basket
generalizing our “get the gate” command to use on doors
desensitizing fox to the laundry room
generalizing our “pick” command to use on pulling clothes out of the dryer
trying to fix our “to heel” so that he doesn’t go behind me to get to my left side

which reminds me that my mom and I were watching Clinton work/abuse a rescue horse last week on RFD and he was "trying to gain her respect" by THUMPING HER IN THE FACE WITH A BIGASS HALTER CLIP TO GET HER TO BACK OUT OF HIS SPACE then my mom said that he was lucky it was a QH he was doing this to because (even though the look on the poor mare's face was still like 'why are you being so mean to me?? if you wanted me to back up you could've just said so!') if he had done that to an Appy like Buddy or Splash he probably would've gotten his ass kicked because they would've been smart enough to figure out almost immediately that they were being bullied for no reason and he has no fucking clue what he's doing
Has some training with my master this morning. Same problems I always have. I’m anticipating too much, I’m too stiff, I throw myself into every move, I over commit. I try to compensate technique with strength.
I feel like there’s no middle ground for me. To overcome my physical limitations and my mental blocks (fear and laziness) I have to throw myself into everything I do, but then for wing chun and some parts of capoeira, the fact I can’t control and be soft are weaknesses. There’s just no middle ground for me. Like, I’m probably just being over dramatic. I need to practice more until I can just be soft and overcome those weaknesses, but I never feel like I’m progressing. I feel just as rock like as I did before. I feel like Korra when she couldn’t master air bending because it was so contradictory to her nature. How did that work out again? We’re training again tonight. I was planning to get him to go over joint locks with me but maybe I should just get him to help me with being soft, but I feel so silly asking and I feel sometimes it just really cuts to my weaknesses.
