What is an agility run?
An agility run, is also known as an agility 'trial'. This requires a dog, a handler, and an open space for the trial. Once you get a command- the handler must send his/her dog over a variety of obstacles, such as: The A-frame, 3 or 4 jumps, the Dog-Walk, the Tire Jump, the Weave Poles, the Schute, the Tunnel, and the Paws Table. The Paws Table and the Weave Poles are the hardest for a dog to learn, the Paws Table is when a dog must sit on it for 5 seconds and have a command to be let of. The Weave Poles are when a dog has 6 poles, 2 feet/24 inches apart, and must weave them. My 2 dogs do agility!
How do you teach your dog the weave poles?
The dog needs to enter the poles with the left shoulder after the first pole.

This involves slowly moving the poles closer and closer together until they form a straight line.
