Thanks so much for this very instructional video. I see a lot of weave work on YouTube but it's great to see a dog learning the process from the start. The speeded up/normal speed editing works very well. What is that awesome treat thing you're giving her?
@NormyPie Susan Garretts 2x2 Weave pole DVD set is a great choice to get insight into this process she created & she explains what to do in great detail. I highly recommend it. We didn't follow everything exactly (or completely) & this video is just a glimpse into the very beginning intro work. We worked on speed later as seen in other videos.
I'm using a dog bait bag/tug toy: it's velcro opens up to reveal treats & also has a toy squeaker to make it more interesting.
@SpunkySaysWoof Thanks! I discovered Susan's DVD after your video inspired me to go poking about for stuff on 2x2s. It's very expensive here in the UK so I will be saving up for it (and some 2 x 2s!). Gonna have to get one of those bait bag toys - best of both worlds!
@SpunkySaysWoof Wow! It took me ages to find a treat bag/tug toy online! I had a vague recollection of having seen one before and I found it again, but it was from US and postage is prohibitive as I'm in UK. Found ~one~ UK site that sells them (a specialist schnauzer one of all things - and I'd been looking at general and retriever websites!) and now have one on order. Thanks :o)

Well aren't you just a keener? LOL! Good job! I just started my dogs in agility and our instructor seems to just lure them through so we'll see how that goes.

@bostonterrier333 the boston on your channel seems to be doing weaves just fine... speed will come with confidence. Maybe you have more than one dog?
