I like the wobble board but the round one with a half ball under it. I think it is less jarring and easier for the dog to control and understand. You can also work and exercise ball to help build balance and core strength and confidence.

Anything that can challenge the dog and help him get more confident will help for when he starts with the teeter. You can also build a board the same size as a teeter and just put it on a peice of 4 inch pipe and make a tiny teeter to get started with later you can use it to work contacts running or 2O2O.

I all ways say the have to let the dog own the teeter and let him figure it out in a positive way.
