Senshi's Seesaw (ENGLISH)
Senshi's road to a 4 on at the seesaw
In this online course, I'd like to show you how I taught Senshi the seesaw in 4 on using a target mat.
For me, training the seesaw remains one of the most challenging to teach, especially with insecure dogs. Senshi is naturally a bit more insecure and can overthink things. Nevertheless, I managed to teach her the seesaw with enjoyment.
In this course, you'll see step by step, using images and text, how I went about keeping the learning process as calm and enjoyable as possible.
