Weaves

I'm so excited with how Flick's and Li's weaves are coming!

You can see how Li's weaves are set up at the right. I have a set of 6 with the entries straight and the middle slanted a bit. I'm using my channel set for that. Then I have two pairs of 2x2 weaves in front of the table. I am working on standing anywhere I want in that area and sending him to either set of weaves from the table or the other set of weaves. He is doing fantastic with minimal missed entries. He is showing great enthusiasm and is single stepping, just plowing through the weaves like a maniac. haha I am also practicing not only sending him from a distance but sending him from one side, then back crossing and passing him. He never pops out. :D


At the right, you can see how I have Flick's weaves set up. I'm working her from the table to the weaves and from the weaves to the table. The three reasons for this are:
1) The table is her favourite obstacle so it keeps her motivated
2) She is coming from the table at a stand still, and she knows she will have to stop on the table going at it so she doesn't accelerate too much as to stop thinking and miss the weaves entry. Once it becomes second nature to her, then I'll start adding more difficult, faster obstacles into the mix.
3) I get to simultaneously work on her default down on the table as well as her weaves without splitting it into two different session! haha
I am also working on sending her from a distance and have gotten up to 20 feet away!
