At the Agility Facility, we do a lot of confidence building and teaching dogs to jump on and off planks, learn where their paws are and to not give up. People often ask why I teach the dogs to jump on and off the dogwalk. The answer: I want the dog to know that they can bail at any time.
If your dog knows he can "get off this ride" at any time, when something does happen, he will bounce back and run just as confidently as he did when he bailed.
Here is an example:
