After having an issue with the teeter last night that scared Shasta and caused her to balk at the teeter, I was very pleased to see tonight's teeters done as if yesterday's issue never happened. She was speedy and confident from the first teeter on. It's interesting to wonder if the large amount of foundation work I've done to this point helped. Regardless, nice to see her not carry any worry over. At least not to this, the first night.
With the placement of the puppy teeter, there are two different sequences that I tend to do to approach it. Shasta is really running fast when I do either of those two sequences. Which further supports what I said in yesterday's blog, that I think Shasta, more than the average dog, will have her speed dependent on her confidence level. Something important for me to keep in mind in our early showing career when she is likely to be less confident.
