Throughout the training, I didn't do a lot of sessions outside for new learning techniques due to the fact that Reggie tends to get distracted especially from other people and animals. It also seemed that smaller, quieter places, like inside the barn, allowed Reggie to focus easier on my cues.

Women are usually seen as being innocent and so at first we wouldn’t expect the women in Ladies in Lines to be able to cope with their new environment in the training centre. However, Ladies in Lines breaks down the walls of what we would see as being feminine and places the women into what would normally be classified as a “male dominated environment.” We as viewers respond to Ladies in Lines, at first, as being quite a dramatic and confronting documentary that shows the intimidating and strict…
