I teach my dogs nose touches as the end behavior on the seesaw. This is a pretty long process for me (and I don’t hurry, I don’t think my puppies are ready for a full seesaw before they are grown) and I do most of it on stairs, away from agility equipment. Parallel to teaching the end behavior, I work on weight shift and confidence. I start by just tugging with the dog in 2 on 2 off, teaching him to keep back feet on the contact. I then let him drive the last step into 2o2o and grab the toy and then gradually increase the distance he has to run before the weight shift. Eventually, I will add a bang to this game and with time increase it. Epic always had a bit of problem with this since he likes to put all of his weight into the toy instead of shifting his weight back in the grip. It’s better, but not perfect. You can see what I mean here:

I’ll machines this look at to 2 categories of people: current Zune owners which are considering a powerful upgrade, and the wonderful trying decide on between an important Zune and even an apple ipod. (There can be other players worthwhile considering out truth be told there, like that Sony Walkman Times, but Related to this provides you enough info to help make an enlightened decision belonging to the Zune against players except the apple ipod line on top of that. )
