So, you and your dog have mastered the tunnel. That’s puppy’s play compared to one of the most difficult agility training exercises: the weave poles. Think of it as a sort of slalom course for dogs. The hardest part about training your canine to weave is overcoming the natural tendency to skip a pole here or there.
Start out slow by practicing a few basic moves and then work on stringing them all together into a routine. Don’t expect your dog to understand the point of this exercise – he or she merely responds to your commands and gestures. If you mete out the correct balance of discipline and positive reinforcement, your dog can become a pro between the poles.
