Regulation height teeter and serpentines

Last night at agility class, we put the see saw up to the correct height. Up until now, we've had it low so Shelby could get comfortable with the concept. To ease her into it, we put the table under one end, and held the see saw down for her to get on. Then she could walk across and make it move all the way down to the floor. At first she was like "what am I doing?" but then she caught on. At one point she didn't even wait for me, she just jumped on it.

We also worked on serpentine jumps. Basically, you have 2 or more jumps lined up in a straight line, and you have to send the dog away over one jump, then bring them back over another jump. If the dog is on your left, you use your left arm to send them over jump 1, then as you approach jump 2, you drop the left arm, and switch to the right arm to pull them back towards you and over the jump.
Here is a visual for you.



The last one shows how NOT to do it-if you keep your arm out there, the dog misses the jump. You want to try and make the dog's path as flat as possible, not really the big curves shown here. Keeping the path flatter saves time on course.
