Sept 26th - at home

So I took the boys into the backyard again tonight to work on weaves. I am only working very hard entries with both boys so hopefully after all this training they both have good weaves?!? I put the 2 sets at 8' apart tonight at the 1-7 angle for both, staked.

Ripley
I started with offside weaves with Rip today because that seemed to be harder for him. He was still trying to weave backwards on the first set so I went to my "happy place" and waited him out to figure out what I wanted. He actually did! He did 3 sets of offside weaves and had some great success. His onside weaves are great now! He is able to nail the entry and wrap tight from about 12' back even :) Such a good boy. I find using food that he is not looking up now so that is also great.

Baxter
I started B on the onside weaves as that is his new challenge. He wants to go to the second set and when that doesn't earn him his reward he does some stupid scary jumping through poles. I had to make it a bit easier (as I have a hard time going to a "happy place" when I think he is going to impale himself). Once he got the first one he did all the rest great! He wrapped the pole awesome but did seem to be doing a bit of a jump through the second set. He isn't looking up but I still think he isn't doing it perfect.
Offside B is a superstar. I can't believe how he knows to go to the very first set, go past, wrap back and drive through. He can do that from anywhere now so I started to add more movement. He found that a challenge as he HATES to be close to me. We had some success so we stopped at that.

Tomorrow I think I will do weaves and some jump work. That of course depends on it not raining like they are forecasting. I can't believe how quickly the boys have killed the grass back there!!
