Ducks are great teachers.

Found out that my friendly drake is a great teacher. My rescue needed to learn leash manners (they have a setup for the delta / 30ft rope, leash, one attachment 2 sided leash and a surf board for when they want a break).

The rescue was originally not going to have this but she kept going too far (I’m worried she could get loose or tangled) so I put my friendly drake whom doesn’t want to mate nor attack her with her on the leash. She keeps trying to go into the seaweed (which is huge) and my drake quacks at her a couple times before pulling her the other way.

So far it’s working and she figured out the surf board.

I’m so proud..is this a good idea? I’m watching them just incase

Update 2: she learned to swim by him somewhat (better than before)
So interesting, I love watching Dutch behaviors bc they always amaze me

Such pretty ducks! They do learn pretty quick just takes consistency.
