I added in some cheese on the ground, whoa!! His mind was blown!! I then used the MM and had the toy in my hand. That went better than the food on the ground.

I tried him running straight at the end. Those couple of reps went well.

Should I take the mat out the box at all or keep it there? Should I put this on the dog walk yet? Ill add a wing before the mat next practice? Just trying to get some ideas. 🙂

When should I name the behavior?

Thanks!!

It was so nice out I had to try to do something. The yard kept sucking in my shoes though. 🤣
Here are a few sessions of the teeter throughout the day today.

Some more mat proofing. These were mini session made into one video.

I think his understanding of the word “Bottom” is fairly good. That’s our verbal foe the 2o2o behavior. Here is a video of that. His very first rep in this video I had him jump on the plank and then asked for the behavior and I think that confused him a little so I just went straight into asking it from the side of the plank. No hesitation there.

Our yard is one big giant water and mud puddle. I got some teeter practice in at LU today. I was really pleased with how he handled it!!! Using the tunnel and having other dogs out practicing really kept his arousal level up.

Today we took the inverted plank and worked on it at our training facility while some of the other instructors were practicing too.

Stark was a little (a lot!)jacked up. LOL
I also introduced the MM to the B&F game.

Here is Inverted with distractions and some B&F

Here is the B&F With intro to the MM

Stark got adjusted this morning, his pelvis was out so that might have attributed to him not turning left as much.

[Carol]

Here is some more inverted box and adding some food as distraction. I’m really feeling good about his hits on this.

Inverted turning left.
He still had a few questions on which way to turn but I think he will figure it out. Should I try standing next time?

Inverted turning right & standing with they distraction of movement. I thought he did pretty dang good here. 🙂

[Carol]

Should I be adding anymore of the lesson 2 games on to what we are doing at this time or keep doing what we are doing?

[Carol]

Inverted mat – I felt like with this next session he was still trotting so I stopped to regroup and played with him to get his arousal level up. Bam! That did the

B & F Inverted – I think when I switched sides he had gotten a little full and tired. I also noticed that he didn’t consistently turn into me when I switched sides and he had to turn right. Again, not sure if he was tired or if he is still trying to figure it all out.

I do feel like the bigger box helped. I cut a mat with almost a 12X19 dimension and the box was made to fit that.

[Carol]

Back & Forth with an inverted mat.

After these last 2 sessions, I made a box large enough to fir the mat. I felt like this box was just a little too small for him.

[Carol]

Makes total sense!!

[Carol]

Inverted mat

[Carol]

Adding a little bit of drop.

[Carol]

Were you explaining something more like this for the teeter??
