We will be using the Susan Garrett 2x2 method of weave pole training.  You will need yummy treats. This method is excellent for finding the entrance to the weave poles from various positions on the course.  We will graduate to the caged and channel weaves for those requesting them.  We will also be working on distance/layering handling which comes in handy when entering AKC FAST classes at trials.  We will start with Novice/Open exercises. This will give everyone a chance to not having to run along side of their dogs.

Note: Students are expected to help setup and break down equipment at the beginning and end of each class.

Prerequisites: Dogs must have reliable stays and come when called and have sucessfully completed Introduction to Agility (previously Foundations & Groundwork) 101 thru 103.
