October - Agility 101 & 201 Weaves Combined
This is a combined class is for both the beginner and the team that is continuing to proof weave poles and entries. It will meet the student where they are at and work to help them improve their skills. The best way to learn 2 x 2 weave poles is to practice them 3 times each day for very short periods of time. The best way to proof weave poles and weave pole entries is to continue to practice them frequently and work them in different locations. The goal of this class is that your dog is weaving 12 poles in a row by the end of the 6 weeks class.
2 x 2 Method
No prior weave pole training is 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 6 handlers and their dogs. It will meet twice a week. It is based on Susan Garrett’s 2 x 2 weave pole training. We will watch Susan’s DVD and use her training techniques.
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.
