Weaves that Wow! For Beginners and Young Dogs
Let’s Focus on Friday!
Friday, August 28, 2026 :: 6-9pm
Presented by Lisa Graham
For this workshop, dogs can learn to drive through the poles using the channel method, can learn how to hit their entries with the 2 x 2 method and can work on their footing with the weavamatic method. All are good and will help your dog get a better understanding of this very challenging agility obstacle.
And for the other half of the team, handlers will learn to find that sweet spot where they can stop and successfully send their dogs to the poles. Handlers will also learn how to help their dogs find the weave entry without pointing to the entry and especially without doing the “weave pole dance.” And finally, handlers will learn to find the right pace and positioning to drive forward so that the dog finds their rhythm and completes all 12 poles.
While this workshop will be focusing on young/beginner dogs, more experienced dogs can gain speed and accuracy by playing in all of the different methods. Like most of my workshops, I try to present different ideas that will make your training sessions in your own backyard much more productive Hopefully this workshop will allow you to encourage speed, accuracy, and most importantly, confidence for your dogs to fly through those poles with joy!
NOTE: Dogs must have a good understanding of the targeting behavior. One of the goals for this workshop is to allow your dog to find the entry and drive forward without you being right next to them. We will not be luring our dogs through the poles, so their understanding of driving straight to a target is very important. A start line stay is helpful, but not as important as driving independently to a target.
