I have my arm brace under my sleeves if I can. It just takes desensitizing.

I use a tether that is threaded through q leather arm brace. I have one small arm brace that only gives a couple feet while my other give about 5 ft. You can train peafowl to be on a tether. I've done it with my White, Spalding, and Indian Blue peafowl. I used it to show in FFA back in...
