Lilli Weaves – Training Update

Looking over the videos posted here we noticed how much progress Lilli has made over the past few months.  This morning we went out to take some new videos to share.

For most agility dogs, weaves need poles…but Lilli isn’t just an agility dog.    She loves her disc more than anything.  Weaving – frisbee style – is often included in freestyle routines.  It’s also a great way to get Lilli’s muscles and joints warmed up before doing any more advanced tricks like vaulting or flipping.

Here’s a video showing her sharp cuts and focus.  Training Lilli to weave this quickly has taken several months.

The improvements – She weaves faster and for longer time.  She waits for a release word (Go!) before looking up for the disc. She has a higher catch percentage after release.  Simply consistent practice and patience developed these improvements.
