Yesterday we did a lot of mental work. We did the training challenges, bits of agility training, but what really got his brain to go nuts was teaching him to get up on the dining room table chair. He's small, so it's tougher to hop up on there and it is very slippery so he had to have excellent balance to get up there and stay there. Working to get up on there and hold his balance and also come down carefully really worked his brain because he had to overcome his fear of the chair that would wobble if he put too much force into jumping and he had to concentrate to keep his balance. Of course, I was right there spotting him but it still was a great challenge.
He learned he can conquer his fears which is a confidence boost as well, plus he strengthened his sense of balance. He slept VERY well that night and even into the next day.
