Weaving is a fun and challenging trick that can improve your dog's agility and focus. Start by teaching them to move between poles using treats as rewards.
Set up weave poles close together at first. Guide your dog through the poles using a treat in each hand. Repeat until they can weave through smoothly.
Gradually increase the distance between poles as your dog gets more confident. Use verbal cues like 'weave' to signal the desired behavior.
Practice regularly to reinforce the skill. Celebrate small victories and be patient with your dog's progress. Consistency and positive reinforcement are key.
Once your dog masters weaving through poles, try adding speed and complexity to the exercise. Challenge them with different weave patterns and obstacles.
Enjoy the bonding experience and mental stimulation that weaving provides for you and your dog. Keep training sessions short, positive, and rewarding.
