After some warm up off camera on 6 and 6 poles here we go for 12!. The off side is harder and when I walk behind him too.
I included a down stay on the table, we did not work on the table since the summer. It is hard for Harley to come in full stop in the middle of a agility run.

Nice job, Ariane! I admire your energy and dedication to your dogs. You do so many great things with them. Sounds like they live a very enjoyable life with you!

Great job! Big leggy dogs look so funny doing weaves.

Very nice! My only critique is watch that your not marking for the dog looking back at you. That happened in the last pass and can become habit. In the pass right before the dog looked when he still had a pole or so to go yet so I believe it may have happened before.
You may also be moving to slow for all the leg that dog has. that "may" also be why he's looking.
old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks |

Very cool, Ariane!
That's been the hardest thing for us to master with our dog, Bailey, in her agility training so I can appreciate the work you had to put in to get to that point with yours. We're finding it especially challenging training her to successfully manage the weaves without slowing her down.
How did you start, with the curved guides, V-shaped angled poles, or with the two parallel rows? Just curious.

Good stuff and what a gorgeous dog! A full set of 12 poles certainly is challenging for such a large long-bodied dog! I am close to reaching 12 poles with my little Mal soon too, so excited!

Hey, I don't want to steal Ariane's thread, but agility training is my passion so I have to chime in. I am in the process of training my Mals' weaves and we used channels (the two parallel rows), starting wide and gradually going more narrow. I have been really happy with the method because it allows the dog to learn speed right off the bat and we have just transitioned to 6 straight in line poles.....

No problem, Tabatha. I can understand your love for agility training. We do, too. Our channels are still 6 inches apart but we're progressing. We use those and, on rare occasion, the poles alternating at angles that you eventually move to vertical. Just wondered what other folks' experience was.

Sorry, Ariane. I just saw what you posted on the other thread about What Did You Work On Today and how you were using those cones (2x2's). Looks like Harley really responds to you. Nice!

I used the 2x2 as it is the most easy to teach and pretty much remove the handler from the picture.
This is less then 10 weeks of work. I also only go to the agility center 1 to 3 times a week so most of the training was done in the barn or indoor arena at my place using small cones and dressage wipes to make the poles.
The good thing with the 2x2 is when the dog get stuck you can modify the set up. Some dog go well with a chanel type setting while Harley was a staire case type. There is one dog in class that goes at the moment 4 in line 4 in chanel 4 in line. the chanel part will be made in line gradualy.
It also help the dog find the entry from all directions which is good as I am dislexic

Thanks I will try that, he does look only when I move but you're right I never go ahead of him. Will try that
