I wouldnt make a see saw - you could shatter his confidence as it moves under foot. Why not make a flat piece of wood then raise one end slightly - he can walk over it and step off. You can also get him walking over tarpaulins and things to increase his confidence:)

hiya thanks im doing tarps etc the seesaw thing starts as a flat pieace of wood then i think you can raise its slightly. I need to build his confidence when the trailer moves he will go in but panicks when it moves so i want him eventually to build up his confidence on moveing article i will start with it flat and build up.
