We Have Taken the Plunge and Bought Our First Equipment

Our New Weave Poles

We have invested in our first agility equipment. We went to the Dollar Store and invested $5.00 +tax in ‘weave poles’! OK, to most people they may look like plungers (or Plummer’s friends) but for us, they are an easy beginner’s way to practice the weave poles.

 Our new ‘weave poles’ were placed 24 inches apart. The rules say they should be 20″-24″ with 22″ being optimal. We decided that as beginners 24″ gave us the most ‘learning’ room.

We all had great fun practicing our weaving techniques in the living room. The important thing for us to remember is that although we are all very excited to train, we do not want to train so long at each session that it is no longer fun. We are limiting our training to 15 to 20-minute sessions a couple of times per day. We still want more at the end of each session and therefore are anxious for the next time we can train.

And remember, there is no obstacle you can’t get around if you’re willing to run, jump, tunnel or weave.
