My Bonnie Went Over the Paddock Fence

Bonnie, with a blue harness on, facing to the left.

Picked up my truck from the shop today. When I came home, I saw Bonnie standing near a low point of the paddock fence on the wrong side of that fence.

So I got a lead, had to follow her around a bit until I got her to walk into a corner and then was able to calmly grab her harness. After putting the lead on her, I decided to use that opportunity to start training commands.

Took some time, but she did manage to do some of the right things as I said “gee”, “haw”, “get up”, “whoa” and tapped her with a small branch. So I praised her a bunch whenever she did the right thing and drove her back into the paddock.

A pleasant solo training session for sure, but I need to find a spare cattle panel and shore up that fence.
