Bouncing Off the Wall - Flyball Box Training

Okay so Chase and I went outside today to see about teaching him to bounce off the wall. This is how Touch n Go recommended box training.. After, of course, doing some jump training first.

So out we go, I have him put his front feet on the wall and measure out where he should jump to, put up a strip of tape… pulled out a tug toy, and lead him around toward the wall.

How many times do you think it took him? Guess… guess! Okay, I’ll tell you. He got it on the first try. This boy is super smart. So I though I needed to video it. :) What do you think?

This boy is smart enough for his own Bluetooth headset!

On this day..

    [...] Mum thinks it might be weird for me to start bouncing off the wall like Chase does, she thinks I’m more delicate than him. Hrmph! I can do anything he can do! [...]
