Elvis, had not a chance to fly lol He tried and always landed with a thud. He couldn't fly if his life depended on it lol. Poor thing... that's Erin, my new RFM from April. The one that was practically wild and quite the biter- now training to fly, waving on command, stepping up, being pet, etc.

We did try a harness outside, but she had no interest in flying then and would just eat the harness. I wold use it now, but I see no reason to as why I need it since she doesnt fly away and I see it just getting in the way and tangling us up.

I did the training outside, just because there's more room and the distractions are constant and not changing (tv to no tv, cat on stand-no cat in room). She can expect, birds, people, and cars, no matter what (we live in a small town). After the video and we went on with her training she id excellent and just stopped because there were three hawks circling above and getting closer That makes it difficult.
