Weave Pole Passing
With this game, you want to make
sure that you keep the environment safe for all people and dogs,
since you’ll be using the motion
of other dogs as a distraction. So,

You’ll need two dog/handler
teams for this game—or, if you’re
feeling ambitious, two of your
own dogs! You’ll also need two
sets of 6 weave poles.
Two dogs will be weaving at the
same time. To start, have both
dogs weaving in the same direction, as shown in Figure 1, with
the dogs on the outside of the
handlers. Then, to make it more

Weaving in

difficult, have the dogs weaving in
opposite directions as shown in
Figure 2. This will really test your
dog’s ability to stay in the poles
even when there are lots of moving distractions. See Figures 3
and 4 for more variations on this
game. The diagrams are shown

although you may find a different
order to be the case for your dog.

Training for success can be fun!
