“Competing at the Excellent level in AKC, we can’t afford to have any 'bobbles' on the weave poles. Rhea and I were experiencing weave pole mishaps fairly frequently. I decided to follow advice from a world class handler. We started breaking the weave poles down into sections and proofing each part, focusing on the entry first - from different angles and with me in different positions. This obstacle is now a lot more rewarding for the both of us as we learn to drive through ALL the poles, all the way to the end." - Jackie
