A Complete Guide to:
Weave Pole Training
Over the last 20 years in the sport, Megan has trained quite a few dogs how to weave, in quite a number of ways! But recently, she’s been developing different ways of splitting skills and reinforcing the different behaviors required in weaving. All of this has led to this class: Not Your Average 2x2s!
This class begins at the very beginning of weave pole training: building desire for the correct behavior. As you progress through the phases, your dog will learn about all of the different entries, distance skills, and ignoring distractions. Then we will add poles and continue layering in different handler positions, motion, and reinforcers. Once your dog is weaving 4 poles, we will proof through common handling skills around weaves, and get you on the path to 12 poles!
This class is suitable for dogs that have no previous weave experience, or any dog that wants a do-over with their weave training. Dogs should be 15 months or older, since you will be weaving nearly every day during this class. Most of the demo videos will be of a dog that was brand new to weaving (Icelandic Sheepdog) and an 8year old dog rekindling her love for weaves (border collie).
In addition to Megan's fresh take on using 2x2s, you'll find a problem solving workshop and many other training videos that apply other training methods like channels and props.
In this step by step program you'll learn:
-1-
Build Confident Weaves
Not your average 2x2s produces dogs that desire the weaves and understand the behavior to a high level of fluency.
-2-
Setting Your Dog up for Success
You will learn so much about how your dog learns as you work through the different exercises.
-3-
Adding Distractions & Layers of Fluency
There are many lessons dedicated to adding in distractions your dog will see and learn to ignore on the agility course.
What You'll Need:
✅ 2x2s. At least 2 sets, equalling 4 poles.
✅ 2 jumps (or cones/wings)
✅ Optional: 6 or 12 straight poles, tunnel
✅ Optional: flat targets/markers for the ground to mark your starting points/the dog's starting points.

A bit about me...
Weave poles are the most mentally and physically taxing obstacle on the agility course. A dog that understands their weaves and performs them confidently is critical for any agility dog.
I have been training in agility nearly my entire life and teaching full-time for over a decade. With more than twenty-five years of experience, I have worked with hundreds of dogs of a wide variety of breeds.
I am known for my ability to break things down for both humans and dogs and explain things clearly, enlightening the learner's view of the sport.
