In the evaluation video that I submitted two weeks ago, Brito returned with his dumbbell around the high jump.  The following video shows the steps that I am taking to develop his understanding that I want him to jump in both directions. I start by throwing a cookie out over the high jump.  For the return direction I either throw a second cookie or throw a ball - for Brito the ball is higher value in this context, so it's a nice option. Then I add off center cookie throws.  I help him verbally and with my body if I believe he is going to make an error (he doesn't here). I click as he returns over the jump. After several cookie tosses, I test him with the dumbbell.  Even though he successfully works with the dumbbell, I will still continue to do primarily cookie tosses over the jump for the near future. After working on this for two weeks - both for cookie/ball tosses and with the dumbbell, he has become quite good at finding his way back to the jump, even with distinctly off center throws.  Soon it will become a habit. When we practice away from home, we'll warm up with more cookie tosses, so that he understands that the rules are the same in all locations and with all jumps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE-Gs5imoLQ
