Ahh, wall handstand! One of my favorite tricks! Since training Berry this trick last year, I've been dying to train another of my girls. Now that Cream is old enough growth-wise, I figured we'd dive right in!

Initially, Cream hated this trick as she has a bit of an aversion to being touched on her back. I accidentally accentuated her dislike for backing onto raised objects by more or less "trapping" her, and considering how flighty Cream is already, this ended up in her running away after only one or two attempts. So we went back a step, training more with the books, and now Cream has gotten confident enough that she'll even back up the inclined wooden hut! She also no longer minds being man-handled or having her back and back paws touched, so that's also a bonus. It's interesting, the more backwards tricks I work on with Cream the better she gets with being handled. 

Anyway, all that's left is to increase her accuracy (she often backs off the edge of the house :P), start using the vertical wooden house, and increase duration! I'm so excited to keep training this trick, especially since I had berry try a few times today and she did perfect handstands with enthusiasm! Seems like backing up never gets old for her and Cream!
