Zora and I first leaned agility at Dog Scout Camp in July 2010. We have been taking classes on & off since then. She has conquered all the obstacles except the weave poles, with the teeter being the most difficult. The teeter took a couple of years and she finally got it last summer at Camp. She’s not a master and it will take more work and patience, but I’m really proud.

We recently started a new agility class at SNEAK. Zora loves it, the facility is great and the class is small. Our instructor inspired me to by my own set of 2×2 weave poles and actually train them properly. So that’s one of our current projects. We got them in the mail a month ago and we’ve been working on weaving with the 2×2 method. Right now, she’s up to 4 poles, spaced about 2 feet apart and angled about 30 degrees. Here’s a good video explaining the training concept.
