I'm pretty excited. Make that super-excited. As of yesterday, Henry's doing 6 weave poles. Not fast, but he's doing all six, and he's doing it without me being right next to him. It's like the lightbulb finally went on and he got it!
Last week at class, we did something a little different and had the dogs enter the weave poles while they were walking next to us. We only did 2 or 3 poles at class, and only a couple of repetitions. So we started working at home on that method of entry, first with 3-4 poles, and then 5, and finally yesterday with 6 poles.
Until today Henry required me to walk right next to him. If I didn't, he left the poles and followed me.
He got over that this morning when he had to weave for his breakfast. After 2 tries he finally did it. We worked on it again tonight, and now he will enter the poles and weave while I wait for him at the end. I'm crossing my fingers hoping that he will do this at class tomorrow.
How excited am I? I dreamed about freaking weave poles last night. No kidding.
