In what way? This is typical teeter performance in competition. 1. Dog races onto teeter. 2. Dog stops until teeter hits the ground. 3. Dog steps in yellow zone inches off ground. 4. Dog exits teeter. Please explain what you feel is unsafe about it.
I guess at least one foot is still touching the contact after the board touches the ground but isnt it safer to have a 4 foot stop and wait and a release? This seems fine in practice but very easy for your dog to miss the contact or fly off before the board touches ground.
@@danielleroberson8735 this dog knows to not exit the board until it touches the ground. Large dogs that don’t have a lot of angulation in their front end can damage their joints if you constantly stop them on the down slope. Dobermans, Vizslas, Weimaraners and all similar angulated dogs should not be asked to stop going on a downward sloop. Over time they’ll end up with an early retirement due to arthritis in their front end assembly.

Also I’d recommend sand bags to weigh the base of the teeter down so it doesn’t bounce.

@@danielleroberson8735 you notice the teeter doesn’t bounce until the dog has exited the obstacle and moved on. This is a non issue.
