I found out when I started to trial Cedar earlier this year that he didn't really understand weaving..he would get entry and the exit but run by the middle poles .. he was originally taught with the channel weaves and basically the channel weaves teach them to run by the poles..so I retaught him using the 2 x 2 method..We've had a couple of weeks of between classes and I've really been working with him on the 2 x 2 and I had gotten him up to 8 poles (a friend has my other 2 sets)..so tonight we resumed classes and he did 12 weave poles for the first time..now he still wasn't hundered percent but I think we did weaves 5 times and 3 of them were completely correct..
Robbie on the the other hand who stresses the weaves for some reason (but can do them beautifully when he wants)I've been working the 2 x 2 too to try and build up his confidence and wanting him to decide the weave poles are a good thing..so during a warm up before class (actually before Flyer's class whose was first) did some nice weave poles with a somewhat difficult entry..during class couldn't get him to weave at all..he wasn't even getting the entry..however right at the end of class we did a real quick 5 obstacle run with the same entry I had worked at before class (a tunnel almost a U turn to the weaves with the entry on the far side of the poles) and he did it perfect...What am I going to do with that boy!!!!
Flyer is in a beginning class and he is just working on obstacles and did a really nice job on his obstacles to night.
