Mastering the Weave Poles: A Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners - part 3 (of 3)

Описание: I finally finished editing the last part of Jai's weave pole training video. There were times where we progressed quickly and others where he struggled and it took several sessions to progress in narrowing the channel. While he was doing well with accuracy when the poles were almost straight, I did not like his lack of drive and speed with the Treat & Train (food reward). I then decided to switch to a toy reward and opened up the channel a bit to allow for more speed. Notice that his forward focus remains with the thrown toy as he was used to being rewarded on a straight line after the weaves. This is very important as we don't want dogs to watch us or the toy in our hand while they are in the weaves. There is lots of training yet to be accomplished once a dog is able to perform 12 straight poles, such as more handling before and after, proofing while in the weaves and taking it to a trial environment! It will also take some time for Jai to perfect his footwork with speed over the next few months. Training is never finished and that keeps agility interesting for me and my dogs!

*** Using a Treat & Train can be helpful in rewarding your dog ahead of you (with the remote control). I bought mine here https://amzn.to/4oEDko5
I also like to use a treat pouch to keep my dog food organized, like this one https://amzn.to/4nXOHpT
If you build your own jumps (like mine are) you'll need these flexible jump cup strips: https://amzn.to/4oBHX2b
