Wall-e's Weave entries -- time to refresh

Wall-e was having a bit of trouble with weave entries today. Usually he's good at them but today he missed two or three mild entries (entered at the 2nd pole). The nails are probably frozen in the ground by now so I can't set them back up in channels or 2x2's, but I can still work the first 3 poles by marking the entry with a "Yes!" and then say "Come!" to call him out of the poles and reward. We'll work the entries around the clock this way, a few reps every day.

That could be good for Mika too, considering that her entries need as much work as Wall-e's. You can probably tell that I'm not the best at training entries :) We all have weaknesses, but they give us opportunities to turn them into strengths!

  1. OMG, I had not thought of the nails getting frozen in the ground, that would be another training challenge, LOL, but great idea to work the 3 poles.

  2. Weave pole entries are funny. One day you have them, the next day you dont. Diana

  3. Yep in Canada you gotta deal with all sorts of weather disadvantages, LOL :) Thanks!

    That's right Diana, they're tough! fun too, though, especially when you finally start to get them.

  4. That is too bad about the nails, the weather has been GREAT here all fall with the exception of some snow in early October. We thought we were going straight from summer to winter, but nope, we have had a very warm fall ; )
