I love my little Harlie girl sooo much.
Today for the first time ever she came to me with no incentive, she usually calls to me with I get in from work and dances about a bit but today she flew right over. It might not sound a lot but for Harlie it was the sweetest thing ever and my boyfriend was in shock from it lol.
Regarding the touch training I had to take a couple of steps backwards as she decided (for no apparent reason)she didn't want my hands anywhere near her head, this is fine, it took me years to convince her my hands were safe enough to step up on to and she was still stepping up ok so I knew i hadn't done too much damage.
After a few days of no further progress I realised she isn't really scared on my face so very cautiously I brought my face fairly close to hers and rewarded. With a few attempts I was able to gently kiss the top of her head. Now she actually leans her head forward in anticipation and meets me, during the last couple of days I've managed to work towards bringing my hand closer to her as I kiss the top of her head. Harlie is now ok with this as long as i don't actually touch her with my finger but she is ok with the kiss as long as I don't keep my face too close to her for too long.
On another note, her flying has improved so much recently, she can fly fairly tight turns now, she is more confident now too and she doesn't hesitate and deliberate for 5 minutes first about whether to take off like she used to. It also doesn't take her as long to recover from her flights. I'm so proud of her
