    WIP: Weaves in Progress!!

    We're working on the 2x2 method of teaching weave poles, for those who are not used to it. We almost have the four poles down pat, we are just working on doing it from both sides, increasing reliability, and doing it from different angles from the first pole. But pretty soon we'll be adding in our final two poles to do a set of six straight!

    They did a good job! Looks like they had fun too. :) Are they usually that far apart? The poles I mean.

    The AAC rules are changing to 24" pole spacing this year, so we made the 2x2's to those specs. Looks big for a little dog though doesn't it?

     Oh maybe that's why, because I'm used to seeing larger dogs do it. Do you figure it's harder for them to go through it more fluidly because of their small size?

    Nah, not really. They learn it in the same way, the end result just looks a bit different.

    Gaci goes through so smoothly, aha! Stormy viciously hops through them. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3doNJtp8KeM ) My weave poles are 20'' apart I think. She's doing very well. She'll be a pro weaver in no time. Oh and I subbed!! Keep putting up more agility videos! ;) I taught Stormy by the 'v' method.
