Our first couple days of training were done on a makeshift course. The jumps were made from paint cans and brooms. At this point he was jumping about 6 inches. Now we can jump 20!

We are still working on the weave poles. I am trying a combination of the "channel" and "lean" method. I will post a photo of the weave poles I am using tomorrow. We are practicing on driveway/snow markers. They come in bright colors and can be stuck into the ground at different angle and widths. We are running a slightly channeled, slightly leaned, 24" spaced weave course. We have a lot of work to do on the weaves. But so far so good!
