After about six months of vowing to build my own PVC teeter base, I finally faced reality and ordered an adjustable one online.
I'm quite pleased with it. It was easy to put together and folds flat, just as promised. Now I'm regretting that I didn't use a regulation size board.
And how does Henry like it?
Well, immediately after we set up the new base, Henry took right to the teeter. He hadn't been very confident on it in class, but the new home teeter seemed to do the trick. And then a few days later he decided that he was scared of the teeter once again!
So, I started all over. This time I'm doing the two-paws-on two-paws-off finish (and we're doing the same on the A-frame). We're only practicing the finish at home, but in class we're working on the regulation height teeter. He's improving gradually and not showing as many avoidance behaviors when he sees the teeter. Before, he'd do just about anything to avoid the teeter -- running all over the room sniffing, sitting down and scratching, having a sneezing fit, going to visit the instructor, etc.
