Thanks. We are not in any hurry so we will keeping plugging away. She’s never been the most coordinated dog to start with, much like her mom who has the same issues! LOL!

Just take it slow.
This drill is about giving them the conceptual understanding of the skills - not unlike running tires or a rope grid for a football player.
As she gets better at the drill, she’ll be able to put those long legs under better and better.

After that it’s all timing and placement.

Perfect timing! We have been working on this. How do you know when your dog is not suitable for this? Done wobble board, ladder rung climbing, barrel rolling, standing on back while I kneel, etc, to build coordination, muscles, body awareness, timing etc. She’s 3yo. Some sessions I think she’s not cut out for it. Her long legs are hard for her to coordinate & her feet don’t seem to grip. Has landed on her back a couple of times due to foot slips. She’s keen but I don’t want her to get hurt.

thanks for posting this, Emily! Ron is such a great coach, I’m still waiting for him to come to Belgium! In the meanwhile I’m going to try the reverse vault training tips, because I had difficulties teaching Jessie this. Hopefully this is going to work!! 5*

Ooo… perhaps you picked up on the fact that I use a positive marker and give no reinforcement sometimes.

Different school of thought on marking behaviors. Emily and I talked at length about that.

The “yes!” is the conditioned reinforcer in this case. (In lieu of the clicker).
