Hi, Tracy,
thanks for all your comments on the previous 3 videos. Here is working with the target and using the MM instead of me to deliver the treats.

Target with MM 20Mar2021

Here is targeting. I am going back to the target on the floor and then to target on the end of a board slightly elevated. From there, begin to raise and lower board with target on it. Also, I am going to have treats off to theside, ie, not on moi!

Targeting w a Lure 19Mar2021

Along with downhill step by step progression and the following Crouch, Nuptse seemed to be diving in with great entousiasm, but with both of these maneuvers, he has the lure inviting him.

Hii, Tracy,
The first clip is with the start elevated more than last time. The 2nd clip is with 1 2×10 board removed from the start stack:

Thanks, Tarcy, for your notes on tossing treats to Nuptse’s front feet while on the taarget.
Here’s our first video on the Peanut. I lucked out with the setup not collapsing with Nuptse on the peanut!!! Now, I have tunnel bags keeping thepeanut in place.
This is a very important part for Nuptse’s retraining! If the crouch can become 2nd nature on the end of othe board for him, he will be on his way to mastering the pivot, (“I think.”)

With the Board set higher at the start, it is easier to reach the goal of a much lower teeter at the exit.

Tracy, the target on the end of the board was disastrous for nuuptse!!! He just turned back to ity. therre was no backing up!

Here is the next chapter in the target Game:

HI, Tracy,
Your approach of “spllitting” the training is paying off!

HERE IS OUR eND gAME WITH A FATTER TARGET. Nice idea, Tracy! The Scratching the target is beyond my pay grade.

End Game with Tip 11Mar2021

[Helen Connell]

Thanks,Tracy.
Thought on first try on the uphill s-s, Nuptse was hesitant.
After going thru the other repetitions, perhaps his behavior was just his reintroducing himself to the uphill teeter. Here are the reps after the first one.

Here is the end of board behavior. Because he was so distracted by treats and the environment, he was not thinking about the target.

Hi, Tracy,
thanks for the previious Uphill info.
Here is the down hill part. He was quite distracted and jeeped up with squirrels and birds all about so he was fast!

Down Hill Tiny Tip 10Mar2021

[Helen Connell]

Hi, Tracy,

We do not have access to other teeters, but moved this one to another location in the yard.

WE did uphill with no tip first. It went well. Here is with a small tip and clatter!
The last clip is asking Nuptse to get on end of board and stay there for 4 on.
