huski Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Just encase you (or anyone really) is interested, a lady in my club has secured a deal with the people selling these weave poles, she is able to sell a set of 6 for $40 or two sets of 6 for $70 (inc shipping), Im about to get a set of my own, they are easily adjusted to make 2x2 or you can straighten them for a full set of 6 Our trainer told us about that on Tuesday night Will definitely be ordering some I think!

huski Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Awesome GG, I'll be scribing at the clubs trial next month but I'd love to get to as many as possible, can you PM me the details? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Just be aware the gaps between those weaves are 50cm, ANKC standard is 60cm and ADAA is 55cm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGirl85 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Just be aware the gaps between those weaves are 50cm, ANKC standard is 60cm and ADAA is 55cm I thought it looked smaller, I dont think 5cm will make that much difference...probably more so if you are accustomed to ANKC weaves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavik Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I wouldn't use 50cm spaced weaves - I got a channel set with that spacing unknowingly when I first started training weaves - 5 cm makes a big difference as weaving does involve muscle memory!. If you are doing ADAA I would suggest doing 55cm weaves. There are people who make them with 55 or 60cm spaced weaves here, I would do that instead, and some will make 2x2 specifically if you ask them to.

Unfortunately I have no space to store anything like that, and Im poor. These ones pack up nicely and will live in my car One day...when I can afford my own place again, Ill get a proper set, but for now these are better than nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraNik Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Yeah it's weird! Even if I try luring D over to my right side she's all awkward like 'uh uh, this ain't right!' LOL That reminds me of when Jedi and I first went to agility... He could not be convinced to be on my right side!! So I had to teach him to heel on the right and he's been fine ever since. Meanwhile, I started 2x2 with both Jedi and Soaks 4 days ago.... I am amazed at how fast they are learning weavers!!!! Jedi is weaving 4 almost straight poles already (Soaks isn't too far behind)! I am thrilled with this method! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pie Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 2x2 weaves is my mission for Trixie over Summer but I was going to get her spayed so that takes a big chunk out of time! Bugger. We had a lesson last weekend and have a stack of foundation stuff to do, going to try and use the Awesome Paws Handling System for her, from what I know of it I think it will suit her, got lots of recall to heel exercises to do and some others teaching motion cues. Last night I shaped her to run around a big cone, she loved that game but kept trying to cheat and run towards it then back for the treat without going aorund it, she's got the idea now though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huski Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I went to my first ADAA agility trial last night! I was just scribing in the games ring... wow agility seems so complicated! LOL!

dandybrush Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 same, raz sux with the weaves and the contacts :p but the jumps and tunnels in my ring he can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraNik Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Jedi is now weaving 4 straight poles! I'm so excited for him! We still need to work on his party trick entries (thanks ness - love that term!) but he is getting there! We won't be moving any further until he's got that down pat. Soaks is moving at a slower pace but I am really happy with the level of drive she's showing. We're just working on her entries until they are really spot on.
