More on Dancer’s Teeter Board

Well, I haven’t yet taken Dancer’s new teeter board on the road. I decided to wait until her teeter board performance was spectacular, so I’ve been trying to do 10-treats-and-we’re-done a couple of times a day (except I use 15 treats so I have a few for a jackpot if I need it). I’ve been making a LOT of treats, so I have the chicken liver crisps recipe down to a science now. (See updates to that, as well.)

Anyway, Dancer now runs to the teeter board and runs across it, whirls around and runs back, banging it down with her right paw with a look of great glee on her face. She has actually started to slide into position, in a poodley version of the border collie slide. It makes me proud, I’ve been trying to focus on clicking just as the board hits the ground, and obviously I’ve gotten the timing right.
