2 x 2 Method
No prior weave pole training required
Dog must be at least 14 months old – growth plates should be closed
Prerequisite – Clicker/Marker and Shaping behavior training
(Links below to both types of training)
This class will consist of a maximum of 5 handlers and their dogs. It will meet twice a week. It is be based on Susan Garrett’s 2 x 2 weave pole training. We will watch Susan’s DVD and use her training techniques.
The best way to learn 2 x 2 weave poles is to practice them 3 times each day for very short periods of time. Having access to 2 x 2 weave poles and the DVD would be extremely beneficial. 2 x 2 weave poles can be purchased.* Stick in the ground poles can be made at home. WDTC club members who are key holders will have access to both the 2 x 2 poles and the DVD at the WDTC facility.
The goal of the class is that your dog is weaving 12 poles in a row by the end of the 6 weeks class.
