Farock--Step two

Keeping his weight back on the shoulders while elevating the shoulders.

Flexing the throat latch while elevating the neck, withers, and shoulders.

Letting down for a break. Any of you folks familiar with halter training, will note a loose lead and no jaw chain/shank. I firmly believe an animal can be target trained, as I have done with Farock, my palm/butt of the whip, being the target, and taught to use each part of it's body independently of the whole. Once each part learns to respond properly it is all put together with each part working alone together, if that makes sense. The jaw chain/shank, like spurs on a riding horse, will be the final piece added, once the part's learn what is expected, when the part's learn it is expected instantly without hesitation. Trust, faith is a long road to built properly.
