Thanks, everybody. And MaryKay, that's cool! I can't remember, are you going to the meetup next month? There will be a demonstration there!
In the meantime, keep jumps LOW. When I started out, I thought it was macho to get him to jump over big jumps. He'd do 12". But in competition, they only need to do 4" or 8" max. Eddie picked up some bad habits jumping the big ones, so I'm limiting him to 4". It's not how how you go, it's how fast, and you don't want to make them frightened of anything. Keep it fun all the time.
