Hey all, I am trying to train my donkey. The goal is for him to stand for a farrier and flow me on a lead, plus not being scared of the gate/driveway. Lately I have been working on leading and I am using a lunge whip to tap the ground or swing around his back legs when he doesn’t respond to me pulling on the lead rope. He does ok for a little bit of this but doesn’t keep following once I release pressure. Then after about 10 minutes of work he stops responding all together or backs up, which is frustrating because as many of you know donkeys are very strong when they want to be. How do I fix this?
