Slack Line Fun
Building Balance & Proprioception

Picture
VIDEO 1: As a very young puppy Beckett was introduced to balance discs to explore. As he became more confident in his fun and balance with them, he was introduced to the single slack line. You will see. how willing and happy he was to meet the "slack line."

VIDEO 2: The slack line(s) were not often used but brought out every few months.. Here is the next step at age 9 months.

VIDEO 3: Walking with 2 feet on 2 close lines is very challenging and requires amazing awareness of all 4 legs.... great proprioception work

VIDEO 4: More fun work on the slack line by separating the lines and adding a balance disc.
