Finally nailed the seesaw!

Today we finally nailed to seesaw!

How we learned the seesaw:

  1. Just learning the noise and watching it move. We would move the seesaw with him nearby and lots of treats to desensitised him from the movement and sound.

  2. Seesaw with help. My trainer would put a chair under the seesaw so the drop wasn’t as big. Keeping in mind to always reward staying on the contact zone and only releasing from contact once safe.

  3. Keep it slow. Don’t forget contact zones and we are using a disk to help mark and keep him on contact till safe and ready to come off.

  4. Rinse and repeat. Safety first and keep rewarding contact zone. Keep it slow. And go back to basics if necessary.
