A place to learn a new language, the Koehler Method of Dog Training, which is an entire language of communication between owner(s) and their dog. Let the journey begin.
How are we doing? Any better? Is she stagnating? I believe this was something Roxanne was fearful of. Just need to know we are still making progress. Hopefully. Thanks!! N
Start her in a Sit with her butt on the end of the Plank Board so she CAN move forward. Also, when she gets to the end of the front of the Plank Board, simply walk around the front with her and say, "Heel", then bring her to a Sit facing the other way. You can use duck tape on the Plank Board, at every 6" so you have a visual marker to keep your right hand steady and still.
On more thing, you need to let her do 'The LOOK' in anticipation of the EC. So, don't fuss so much with her head position before you do the set up.

Your mechanics are clean and smooth. Good work.
