Garmr motions progression from 8wks to 12 months old. There’s a lot of technical mechanics you want to teach using food before ever trying to use a ball. The key mechanic with Garmr has been not moving the front feet when changing positions. This way you get a rock back into the platz, and jump up into the sit. The stand I don’t care about a “hop” into it, just kick feet back up into it from a sit and don’t move your front feet. It transfers to a solid stand in motion with out exaggerating the lock up too much. Another key component is making sure the dog doesn’t rely on subtle unconscious handler help, and to teach to listen to just the verbal cue. Command…. Then Lure! :) Happy training!
