Derek came to Moose Ridge Farm with a deep fear of flags—likely from past show-ring experiences where flags were used to make him show off his movement.
In this short video we follow Derek and his owner, Kristine, as they work with Alexandra to turn that fear into trust. Through muzzle-targeting and steady click-and-reward sessions—first on the ground, then under saddle—Derek learns that the flag is no longer a threat but a signal to stay calm and collected.
