Weave Poles Day 5

Today was not a good day.  It was blazing hot, so we didn't do anything until late tonight.  He wasn't eager to work in the heat, and was highly distracted by critters.  Some things that I have noticed:  he does well when I am behind the poles, but struggles when I am "high on the arc", because he doesn't want to go back behind the poles.  And I really need to shorten my sessions!  It's hard to stop when he is working nicely, and even harder when he isn't!  But I think if I stop earlier, we will do better.  So, goals for tomorrow:  bring in the second set of poles, which I am hoping will help him get the idea of going back behind the poles, and a timer to make sure that the session is no longer than 2 minutes.  I'm hoping that I can get in some multiple sessions through the day, but the heat may make that hard.  And I may not get video of the early morning session, but we'll see!
