First time trying to add a video, so hopefully this works.

Another big step made with Slade. I haven't been petting him much just to give him his space. This was the other night however, and it's still happening daily so I think we may be pretty good now! I haven't worked on getting him to step up onto my hand yet, and haven't shouldered him, so those are the next few things I want to work on. I'm not too concerned if I can't ever do either though because he steps up beautifully onto his stick, it just would be nice to not have to need another device plus I would like to be able to take him out with me and I don't want to have to put him in a cage to do so (he would be in a harness if things go well). If the video doesn't work then I'll try to link it again another way!

It's hard to believe that 2 weeks ago, before we got the bigger cage for him, that I couldn't even put my hand in his cage without risk of attack without moving him to another side of the cage and giving him a big treat. Now this! And the added bonus of being able to do daily tasks and not really worry that he's going to maul me.
