Hey
Yes, definitely a low bar is a good idea at this age and stage! I would just make sure the jump cups are moved especially on your garden jump as we don’t want her catching it. On the video when she did knock the pole, you rewarded with the toy but looked a bit unsure. If she completely knocked the pole like she did, I would just restart and ask for the jump again and then reward if she keeps it up (e.g. no reward for knocking the bar). I wouldn’t even reward with food if she touches the bar, I would just be super clear from the beginning if she touches the bar this is not the behaviour. I want no reward.
In terms of rear crosses, I think this was good for the first session with the bar as she is more likely to touch when doing these manoeuvers, as you progress with time you can make them more challenging and independent.
The wing in the tunnel looked great, I noticed you were sometimes rewarding her with food to Breakdown the behaviour, but she doesn’t seem to find the reward that valuable with food you would be better off using two toys. The one pre-placed on the floor, and then another one in your pocket to reward if you want to Breakdown the behaviour. Otherwise you’re trying to reward something with food but she doesn’t find it very valuable.
