Forward training video. First i did it outside without obstacles, and then in the hall. I think she will undestand what i want, we just need time and training 🙂
What dou you think if next time i will use moving toy? i mean if helper will run forward with toy in order to encrease speed and run and to avoid stopping at the end?
Yes, in general it is good, but I prefer less mistakes when you start to teach something new, because through mistakes she gets less confident and slower. So I would do the same drill but starting with just one jump and at first you can just restrain, throw, release, without a big wait. Than gradually 2 jumps and 3 jumps. For now don’t hold her for too long and don’t talk to her much, because she looses focus on the toy easily.
Also do the exercise with jump and two plates to give her the idea that she should take the jump. It takes a bit longer when you are “just playing” like you did in this session, because they are using their head less. But don’t get me wrong, it is a good training as well! Just I would do it more gradually.
