More Spring Training..

At a recent Puppy Seminar we attended, we learned about the use of "Air Disks" in the training of agility dogs.



These disks are used to help train balance and proprioception in human patients, but can be used for dogs also.
A variety of exercises were demonstrated on the disks including perch work for contact training.




Here a few pics of Gladys and Trigger just getting used to standing and sitting with all fours on the disks. The larger of the disks is 24" which is a good size for a border collie. Gladys is also modeling some moves on a smaller, 14" disk.
