Many dogs struggle with weave poles because they lack an understanding of the physical mechanics required to enter the poles: weight shift and lead change. As with any footwork, speed in the weave poles cannot be achieved until the dog has learned the physical pattern of how to use his feet, and how to maintain weight placement over his hips while powering forward.
Using a jumping grid with the weave poles allows us to make the job very clear to the dog and give him the opportunity to pattern the necessary footwork and weight shift. The grid enables the dog to meet the weave poles with his weight already rear-end loaded, leaving his shoulders free to begin their slalom through the poles
Learn about Susan Salo's weave pole grids and how you can use them to improve your dog's weave pole entries, speed, and consistency as well as incorporate them into your weave pole training for a new dog that is just learning weave poles.
