Weave Training
2x2: Four Straight Poles!
We're weaving! or at least Zap is, I'm just trying to throw the toy at the right time without hitting him. Nonetheless Zap had his first go at four straight poles today.
Weave Poles and Contacts
Zap is now 15 months old and I started teaching him the 2x2 weave this week. He's almost weaving 4 straight poles, but I want to work more on entries and he's getting next week off -his brain and body needs a break.
To Fail Or Not To Fail?
We continued our weave training in a new environment today. We went to the LaZi course to change the scenery but not adding any over exciting element. Susan Garrett says at this point it is important to let the dog work through what ever difficulties he may have and him figure out the solution on his own.
Evidence Of A Not So Bad Weave Session
It's a good thing I filmed Poncho's weave training yesterday. I just watch our sessions and it really doesn't look as awfull as it felt. Yes Poncho has some issues when send from my right, but he does figure out how to earn his reward. We do need to work on the right side, because right now we are repeating one bad and one good, one bad and one good.
