Trailer Training - day 1

Day 1 of real trailer training with Chui today.  I'm using "cookies" (milkbone), pets and scratches and verbal affirmations and praise ("Chui' a good boy!  Such a good boy.") to make him more comfortable.  It's working I think.  I can now just point to the trailer and he gets in but he's still very uncomfortable in there, it freaks him out.  Once I give him the cookie I gently shake the trailer while scratching him.  I've also been walking around the trailer and away from it while making him stay.  If only he understood what's at stake!  Damnit, man!
