Trick of the week: Rebounds, overs and stalls
- Thread starter SaraB
- Start date
First try. Lo already knows up means jump up on rocks, and she already uses my body as a launching pad during zoomies or when she's playing with her friends, so she didn't really even think twice about what I was asking her to do. We'll try the rebound tomorrow, I think that'll be tricky.

I managed to stay out of this thread until yesterday. I blame you all.

I'm wearing a jacket because I enjoy having skin on my back.
I've kind of been in a training slump lately and I have to say that I REALLY missed working with my dogs. We need to get back in class.

Still working on them building up confidence and balance on my feet. I think I'm going to move to a shorter surface soon though because one of their biggest issues is that when the height difference is increased they tend to jump to high and too far.
Also, Traveler was balancing perfectly and then I told him to dismount and he does so perfectly. Onto my bicep. Hurts SO bad. Turning purple and red and it's painful.
Stupid dogs.
Mu is awesome! I love how bouncy and springy she is, never looks like she puts an ounce of effort into moving. She also seemed like she thought this was SUPER FUN!!
Also, Sass, I kept cracking up at Squash.

GO MAISY!!!
Also, I feel now is the time to tell everyone that once you teach a backstall, your dog will find every inconvenient opportunity to jump onto your back. For instance, husband was bending down to pick up Zip Tie yesterday, and Zinga launched herself at his back. Because backstall.
I was picking up some fuzz off of the carpet and Zinga jumped onto my back. Because backstall.
I asked Zip Tie to jump into my arms, Zinga AND Zuma launched themselves at my back. Because backstall.
So good luck!

I read this to my roommates and they asked, very seriously, "So, how does this make him an easier dog to live with?" :rofl1:
Can I just say that you look awesome for just having had a baby? :lol-sign: Also, Mu is as adorable as ever
Thanks! Go Maisy go! I think you might be insaner than the rest of us - I won't even consider doing this with 50 pounds of Murphy. Also, Squash is awesome and adorable.
I have watched ALL the videos (in at least the last 6-10 pages lol) and love all of them.
Haven't filmed anything yet, but let's just say that if you have pierced nips you probably shouldn't work on the rebound without a bra on. Ouchhh!!!! Sorry for tmi.
I can't find my darn tripod or else I'd film this stuff.
Bamm is really catching onto the rebound and his nails hurt like a bitch. I'm still working it from a sitting position since I'm not sure we are ready for me to start working towards me standing up just yet. He is over enthusiastic about jumping up and off my lap.
Cricket is starting to get the hang of it too, but she was unsure about jumping up into and off my lap at first. Our last session she did it a few times and was heavily rewarded and ended on that note so maybe next session we will be really getting somewhere.
Joey I'm working on overs. I've been having him jump over my legs and now working on my back. He seems to really enjoy doing this one.
