We've had more rain so the barn was muddy yet again. I was not comfortable to ask for more than a walk due to risk of slipping in the mud. I was actually kind of glad because it gave me the chance to play with muddy pits. Tucker really did not seem to have a problem with the mud. He would have preferred to go through the less muddy route given his own choice but when asked he would trek through the muddier one.
I also took the opportunity to work on the fear of chickens he has. It's a problem because chickens are a permanent fixture at the barn now so we need to play through it, but chickens are one of my least favorite things to play with. He is getting better about them and can actually look at them without losing his mind but he still does not want to get too close to their pen. Lots and lots of approach and retreat and I know eventually he will get there.
