Luke W Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Cool! Where does this training method come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavik Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) It was explained to me by Vickie Pretty cool way to teach it, it never occurred to me to teach it that way before. Edited April 5, 2009 by Kavik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatelina Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Wow! I would never had guessed that you would need all those steps to teach that! Crazy! So how long has it taken/do you think it will take from beginning learning to being able to do the see saw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavik Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Not sure how long - depends on how often I practice, and how long I stay on the same step before moving on. It is heavy, so need OH to set it up for me, so only get to practice a couple of times a week. At the moment, deciding whether I need to get him more confident on this step running from the table along the seesaw before going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 He doesn't look bothered by it so I would go on. Are you doing nose touch contacts? Poppy starts seesaw tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavik Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 I am not doing nose touch contacts for the seesaw but I am for A-Frame and Dogwalk. For seesaw I am doing 4 on, as that seems to work well with the banging on the end, he will hop on to 4 on position himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monah Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Love it!!! Fantastic, my viz only has issues with the see saw!!!! I feel renewed and cant' wait to start learning the bang game and also to keep the entry end stable. When you see it is seems so logical, but, no one has ever shown me that before. Great Nice see saw, where did you get it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraNik Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I better start paying attention to this sort of stuff! Jedi starts agility Friday week!! I've never done it before, but I've done lots of foundation work with him in preparation. I have a feeling it's going to be a steep learning curve!

Kavik Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 I got it from Eddy in Sydney Terranik - I am sure you'll enjoy it - agility is heaps of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavik Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Here is our full height seesaw performance. Getting there - I would like him driving ahead more and I need to fade the target. I decided to change to 2o2o contact instead of 4on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Fantastic Kavik 4 on is a good idea - I actually had a play with the see saw today (set very low) just so he could hear the bang - might try the 4 on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavik Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Thanks After watching LOTS of seesaw performances on Youtube, I really like this one. Not as breathtaking as those amazing sliding seesaws done by some Border Collies, but more controlled and attainable for me with my first attempt at a proper seesaw performance Casima's Anna also has a great seesaw very similar to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0GVWHZWqTo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilBailey Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 He is looking good. I wasn't sure what to do with the sea saw as it is the one thing in the world I have discovered Flea is afraid of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavik Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) Hi LilBailey Here is someone's video diary of retraining their dog who is scared of the seesaw. Might be helpful. Edited September 13, 2009 by Kavik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Looking good Kavik!! Poppy is a crazy thing on the seesaw! It looks like she is trying to make as much noise and bang as possible, lol. She is only a little border and the force that she was banging it was bouncing her off the end. I had to slow her down, which was a novelty for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickie Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 He looks good, although still a little hesitant. I'd like to see what he does without you in the picture as he seems quite tuned in to your movement...especially the releases, both from the start & from the contact. I would be putting your arms away, it is just an extra cue that you will need to fade. can you video him again & send him as well as call him. I think he will look quite different in each of those scenarios. Have you got a tunnel at your place? sending into a tunnel first can help you get ahead & allow him to perform independently.
