Saavy was very excited about starting his weave training which was great because in the past he has been slow and not enthusiastic at all. I tried a new Christmas toy that he can tug and squeak, this seemed to encourage him a lot! We had two things happen during his session I want to point out:
1) At 25 seconds he hits the poles so hard they move....maybe thats why they should have a weighted base...DUH! He didn't seem bothered by it though so we kept working, a more sensitive dog may become frightened though.
2) At 1:40 the stack of boxes and Christmas presents behind us fell over and you can see his reaction, but he happily went back to work. What an awesome boy!!
My tossing was not as acurate I felt, I had practiced with Shayla's rope toy, not this ball one so my throws left a little to be desired. Im going to practice throws some more before I bring him out again. He was driving towards the weaves from a distance so I will have him progress to the next step as well.
