To teach the "four on" t...Hey Morganne. To teach the "four on" the teeter I used Jen Pinders method. It was in Clean Run Nov 09. You put a small milk crate or something like it under the end of the teeter board, you dont want any movement in the teeter. This keeps the board off the ground. You shape them hoping onto the end of the board that is off the ground (with the milk crate). I guess beause of other stuff, Miley just kinda got that quick. But you eventually want them to have all four feet on and being to the end of the board. Then you give them a verbal release. Once the get the end position, you bring the to the side of the teeter(where your milk crate is) Hold their collar and the release so the hope into position onto the board. Then give them a verbal release, for them to jump off. You want to do the things you do with any other end board postion. Do it on either side, run by, stand still ect.. Once your dog gets this, then you move that behavior to a moving board. Put a chair or something under the teeter do the board is just a little off the ground and will tip a little. you do the pounce onto the board again, but now the board will tip (a little) when they get on. Once they are solid on that behavior, start adding your motion. Then you do the stuff your doing right now with the table and the teeter. Let me know if you dont have the Nov 09 Clean run and Ill try to email it to you.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16378710392378543981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977067058374900985.post-61825709933663576802011-03-18T09:21:21.572-06:002011-03-18T09:21:21.572-06:00Yeah, the running contact training gets tedious. ...Yeah, the running contact training gets tedious. But at least you have the equipment in your yard so that should help. When I was working I'd come home from his morning walk and run Strum over the table/plank for maybe 5-6 reps. before I went to work. Hardly takes any time at all.<br /><br />Glad to see Summit looking good.Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734583197185810124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977067058374900985.post-57936163601729931072011-03-18T08:01:25.928-06:002011-03-18T08:01:25.928-06:00Great runs and how awesome to see Summit healthy a...Great runs and how awesome to see Summit healthy and running again and seeming to have not missed a beat!<br /><br />Soleil is one very brave girl - love that teeter!Chris and Rickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052668808100244423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977067058374900985.post-35538101908876875772011-03-17T14:05:51.621-06:002011-03-17T14:05:51.621-06:00Nice to see you guys running again.
