Here is an update from Mac’s adopter Jerre from late this summer:
Our biggest success has been a deep dive into positive reinforcement and collaborative care. I give Mac the option to refuse any contact, haltering, fly mask, etc., while encouraging participation with click and treat. This has opened him up to interacting with me and now, rather than being politely coerced into handling, he seeks contact and participates. He is starting to generalize behaviors, which is so fun to see. Carrots are still his favorite treat.
