Weave pole training plan

I have decided to get serious about Rigger's weave pole training.  I've been trying the poles with fences, which works as long as the fences are there, but not so much when I start trying to fade them. So I am going to give 2 x 2 training a try.  He's a good dog, and so proud of himself when he figures things out.  So I am hopeful that this will create a more independent, willing dog.  We will see!  And by that, I mean that I will be recording and analyzing how the sessions go.  The new set of weave poles arrives tomorrow.  I have watched the intro sections.  We can do this, and it does look like fun!

Pre-day-one prep:  Build value for the toy.  Mission accomplished!  Didn't get it on film, because I forgot that I switched out routers and had to go reconnect all the cameras.  But at least that is prepared for tomorrow!

Which is also the day that Rigger starts his Advanced Obedience class, so we will see how that goes. It's after the Intermediate class that I assist with, so he is going to get to practice settling quietly in a crate for an hour or so as well.  I am prepared with bully sticks, which should keep him content.  And it will be good practice for the future!
