A session in the school with Bonbon, continuing lunge work and a little sit-on. Today, she was again, a little squeally and jumpy, but I was pleased that she settled and then did some calm, attentive work. I look forward to my little sit-ons, I like working with her, but I'm really getting desperate for a regular trainer to help me. With Remy, I need affirmation perhaps that my work is going in the right direction, and as we progress, I feel that it's even more important to get the support of 'eyes on the ground'. Bonbon's a completely different kettle of fish to Remy, with an unpredictable temperament and for that alone, I'm beginning to feel that a trainer is even more of a priority.
It gets me down always working alone, but what gets me down more is that I don't know what to do about it. I really envy folk who find a trainer who's on the same wavelength that they can really relate to.
