All signed up for Ninja Weaves, thanks! It’s lucky that I already had channel weaves and weave guides from when I was trying to solve this problem last summer.
Here are some jump grids from Muso.
Handling
Hi Tracy, thanks for that feedback.
Do you have any recommendations for someone who could help me solve River’s weave problems? She’s doing well with her shoulder injury, and we should be clear to get back to training in the next couple of weeks!
Muso is looking forward to MaxPup3!
This session was a little long, but I felt we were starting to get it by the end. I was trying to move more slowly, like you said, but I think maybe I wasn’t giving her enough handler motion for a lot of the wrong entries? Also, she has learned to love tunnels, LOL, so we’ll have to do a bit of unlearning.
She liked the handling games at 8″! Here is some lap turn work from the same day. We also did tandem turns, but didn’t get it on video. It went well!

Serps…because you just can’t get enough
Tried to do a few more exercises today, but her brain had melted.
Tracy,
Two things:
1. Can you recommend someone online to help me retrain River’s weaves?
2. Is it possible to start to show the ‘final product’ or set up concept before the “how-to” part of the videos? Ex: the serp set-up (wing, jump, reward placement) was so much easier to understand when you explained the full serp set up. There are lots of potential serp scenarios, so it was helpful to know which type of set up you were thinking of – you explained it partially in the live class, and the reward part in my forum post. I can work more effectively at home when I get the idea of how the final behaviour would look, beyond the scope of the exercise. I am envisioning like, a map example and then the obstacles disappear to leave the actual exercise set up. I know you sometimes show the “big dog” version at the end. Angles are really hard to interpret in the videos sometimes. I love that you have started to change your filming angle within one session so that we can see what the dog sees and what the handler sees. It makes a big difference!!
Thanks
