I know. You could go on youtube and search on all these dog training videos and learn how to teach your dog weave poles. Or you buy the dvd. Or you come here and you can find out a really crappy way to teach your dog to weave. YES, It is Dog Training Video Wednesday with Team Small Dog! Where you come to see how NOT to train your dog!

He started out with so much promise. Taught the poles in the driveway, and built them into a sequence. Remember? I’m all, “HI! Watch my squirrel weave like a pro! and I am the Talented Dog Trainer!”

Then somewhere along the line, decided he needs to start learning them straight-er, not even STRAIGHT, I tell you. And started closing them in. Um, like you are supposed to do with the channel weaves. Like I taught Otterpop in like 3 weeks. Like my dog agility students all do like pros.

And my dog, he is like, “Huh? No hablo. Porque you soy squirrel y tu never practice enough con mi.”

Totalamente no hablo nada. When it has to do with poles in a straight line.

And now look at what a mess I’ve made. I’ve got cages up on straight poles and the offset ones a little open and everything is slow and he throws himself through the straight poles like a tiny little falafel sandwich with no hot sauce. And the falafel balls are falling this way and that. All greasy and on your shirt. Tahini dripping off the sides. And I’m wearing those fat pants from the Gap. And I still have no letter “b” and I am just so sick of copying and pasting and not having the Option or Little Apple key. I mean we are just a wreck here, people.

And this I provide for your viewing enjoyment. I know. You don’t even need to tell me. Your border collie learned to weave in 5 minutes. Forwards and backwards and you wear a cape for good times when no one is looking. You just keep having your fun and I’ll just sit here with the falafel grease going everywhere and we’ll see where we end up.
