Al's First Full Height A-Frame

Two out of 3 attempts were out of the contact zone.  At this point Al had stopped jumping the apex, so I rewarded Al for jumping over the Apex on the first 2 attempts, because that had been an issue for him.  I was rewarding him for going hard over the apex even if he missed the contact.  There was no reward if he didn't jump over the contact and past the first stride regulator.  What I was working toward was an A Frame where he jumps over the apex, lands past the stride regulator, and gets the contact.  Once Al did that, then it's a "Jackpot" and he gets his reward by hearing "in the house" where he gets a waiting bowl of supper or lunch.  He's getting his "jackpot" on the first attempt now.  So we go out, he gets into the contact with a jump over the apex which lands past the stride regulator, then 2 strides with the second landing in the contact zone, and then off.  If he doesn't do that, there is no reward. 

Al's time is 1.25 seconds from when he hits the A Frame to when he hits the ground again!!
