Tucker Weaves for the first time!!

Tucker and I have really been practicing the weave poles lately. In agility, weave poles are usually the hardest for a dog to learn, and there are several different methods for teaching it. We used the "weave-o-matic" method where the poles are like this:

The dog is trained to run down the center. Gradually the poles are adjusted until they are standing straight up. Once the poles were getting close to straight, we used the old fashioned method of guiding him through with food and a "weave" "come" "weave" come" command.

Last night he did it all by himself!! Here's the video:

It will take lots more practice for him to be truely independent, but we are getting there!
