To speed up slow dogs on teeter. First of all you need two teeters and one must be adjustable. First use just the adjustable one on the lowest or next to lowest level. Do this low teeter a bunch of times in a row over and over. Getting faster each time, since it's low it's easier and less scary and they will soon be getting pretty fast.
Now you bring out the 2nd teeter and place it a little ways straight in front of the first teeter and at full height. Now run the first short teeter and straight to the 2nd full size teeter. And do this a few times. Now supposedly this method somehow works by muscle memory, which does make sense to me.
I think it will most likely work best on just a slow moving dog not a dog that has a real teeter phobia but who know maybe it would work on them too. I guess the idea is by doing the little teeter over and over and over really fast. The dogs muscles get used to that speed and then when you stick the bigger teeter in front you should get the same speed. It's worth a try.
