: Please remember that it is easier to bond with a baby than one that older.. You have to take your time on this one..
: Eventually, hopefully, your lil guy will bond with you.

It isn't quicker with one than another, it all depends on the owners, the previous owners and the gliders personality.. I have seen baby gliders that seem to bond right away turn vicious and mean.. It isn't BONDING.. it is a matter of trust. that you can teach a glider no matter if they are 8 weeks oop or 6 years..The key thing is to gain it's trust.

I will end up going into much more detail than I have on my bonding page.. as for My site SGI- that Yes I have spent a long time working on BUT.. so have MANY, MANY other people, That site was setup and designed with the new and wanna-be new owners specifically in mind. he wonderful pages on there have been veiwed, edited, modified, added to changed, updated, researched and inspired by the newbies all the way up to orignal vetern owners. The long time breeders/owners have donated much of the vast wealth of knowledge to that site.. Just keep in mind that we must give credit where credit is due.. and I am trying very hard to find a way to do that.. For all of them as well as the newbies that are still inspireing us to make it even more informative than it already is..
