Progressive Poles; A Series

Well done weaves take time- as they should! There’s really no need to rush. Weave training can start early and still be done safely-  with little impact on a young dog’s body. There are so many different elements to weave performance, and they all deserve individualized attention. 

Progressive Poles is a series of four 6-8 week long online classes, each with a focus on a specific component of training the weaves. 

• Part 1: The Channel 
• Part 2: Distractions, Motion, and Sequencing 
• Part 3: Entries 
• Part 4: Integration and Closure

This method uses channel poles (a channel can be made out of a full set of 2x2s if needed) and strongly recommends (but does not require) weave guides/wires. Part 3 does recommend using two sets of 2x2s, but it is not mandatory. Ability to use placed reinforcement (such as a placed toy or Treat N Train) is required. Dogs must be at least nine months old to begin Part 1 of Progressive Poles and at least twelve months old to begin Part 3.
