Body Awareness in Cavaletti Gillian Miner
• Behaviors- Shy puppies can be helped and have a big confidence boost with body awareness work. This drill can also help puppies' brains as they are forming to work on coordination. • Other Animal- This exercise could also be used in horses and would also greatly benefit the horse's coordination.
• Supplies – pool noodles, cones, treats
• Assembly Level 1- Take two cones and place a pool noodle in between them three times. Then spread some treats around the area and encourage your pet to walk around or step over the objects. • Assembly Level 2- You can tip the cones sideways and stick the pool noodles through the bottom of the cones to lift the pool noodles slightly off the ground and encourage the pet to jump over the pool noodles with a treat and reward after jumping one of the noodles. • Assembly Level 3- Set up the exact same and only reward when the pet has jumped over all the noodles if the pet knocks one of the pool noodles go back and redo that one. • Safety- Make sure your pet has been to the vet recently and that their bones and joints are all fine also make sure to pay attention to your pet as they go through this training, so they do not get injured.
