After a week of training weaves without a toy, this week we had success at Derby show of 5 / 6 weaves. Additionally the success was in both 6 & 12 poles (as indicated a couple weeks ago, 6 was a real issue). Talking to a few people whose dogs are at a similar stage it appears they experience a similar issue with dogs not recognising 6 pole weave configuration.
During the week I had done some training at our local park, where I had never done any training before. So in essence, like a show, it was a neutral venue. Jaidi’s weaves were just like competition, skipping #2. So we worked through and had a couple of successful attempts (too hot to do any more). Then at training the following night, had +50% success rate in the course.
I must admit I was surprised just how quick the turnaround had come, considering a week ago we had to avoid the weaves in the course!
This means I can now work on some other training aspects, with priority being grid work.
So we left the show this weekend looking forward to next weekend.
