Cassi started on the teeter, set very low, with phone books under the end. The phone books were removed fairly quickly as she was not going on straight. She really picked up some speed and drive with my partner S wiggling the treat pouch at the end. D said we can go up from the lowest setting by a hole next week.
We did the A-frame at "black plus 10" and she was flying over the top. S let me know that Cassi was getting close to missing her up and down contacts. D said we might add a hoop if she doesn't self-correct as we increase the height.
The rest of the class had a table exercise but we aren't ready, so we did the contact board. As usual, D had to come help us. She told me to click for any back foot, even if the front feet are off the board; that can be corrected by "pushing" her back by treating on the front of the board. We are going to start a game at home to "back up" without telling her (as I usually do), just clicking when she steps back, and keeping my hand low. If she sits (which she did a LOT) then just say "come" and try again.
