Herc is gaining confidence in letting me touch him so I decided to see how he would react to a halter. We made it just a game at first. Just trying to see how many places he could "wear" the halter before we put it on.

Then I used a rope to put a "quick halter" on the big guy. He was not to thrilled with his options being taken away and struggled with the rope so we never did get the halter all the way on. However I wanted to end the evening on a good note so took the rope off and went back to just petting on him and he settled down very quickly.

It is getting unseasonably hot here so have to keep our sessions short, for both of our sakes.
