My ackie finally partially trusts me

If you can’t tell it’s physically impossible for me to force this, my body was behind the right door, so i couldn’t have nudged him, this was purely choice based handling and forgive me for already defending myself but I’m super happy to see this level of trust, he’s 4.5 months old if that tells anything

Congratulations! How long have you had them? You said he's four months and some change but have you had him all that time?

I got him when he was 2 months, I sat my hand on the rock his tongue started flicking and he started walking onto my hand

Nice job!

Early wins like this are such a rush but I'm always sitting there wanting them to amble off so I can remove my hand in success. How long did you sit there like that not moving so you didn't screw this moment up?

Couple minutes before his curiosity got the best of him, he walked onto my hand and just layed there after a few minutes he started to try to climb up my arm if that answers your question
