Do not be troubled if at first your dog jumps off the side of the seesaw in fright. They are startled by the seesaw moving down to the ground. Once you move on past beginner class, don't enter again. Instead, the next chance you get, go to the gym a practice until your dog doesn't jump off anymore. Once you reach expert class, you'll need to do the same thing for slalom because your dog will be very slow at first.
