Those Darn Weaves! Help!

Six closed weaves this morning! (The camera angle makes them look wonky, but they are in a straight line.)

Holy cow! Awesome!!!!!!!

The only thing I would suggest is getting a treat ball or something like that that you can throw ahead of the weaves to keep Sparrow's focus ahead. The way she's turning her head to look at you at the last pole can sometimes wind up causing a 10th pole pop out - the dog starts anticipating the reward coming and will turn toward the handler earlier and earlier. I learned that one the hard way :-(

Agree on both counts. Way to go! She's a clever girl!
