Learning to Weave with the 2 x 2 Weave Pole Method
The weave poles are the most complex of all the agility obstacles. Learn how to create your dog’s solid understanding of how to enter the weaves correctly, how to stay in the weaves until they are completed, and how to perform 6 or 12 weaves independently of the handler’s movement. We will be using trainer Mary Ellen Barry’s 2 x 2 weave pole method.
Bring a hungry dog! Bring your dog’s breakfast with you to class, and use food that can be easily tossed and seen on the floor.
