WEAVES!

 Pearls:

• Your dog needs to be displaying each new behavior a minimum of 4 out of every 5 attempts correctly before you are ready to move on to something more challenging, as in while learning weave poles
• To begin, place two sets (a total of four poles) of 2 x 2 weave poles with a very obvious open channel the dog can run through down the middle of the clear channel. Then as she gets proficient at each step, gradually close the weave channel bit by bit until Jackie has to "wiggle" to get through the weaves
• Show Jackie the entry, then it is her responsibility to weave through each successive pole

Jackie beginning weaves:

 Pearls:

• Shut up more. It's okay to give one verbal cue, and then use your body language to clearly indicated the dog's line of travel

• Run! Jackie takes confidence from me when I am running ahead and clearly directing her line of travel
