    I am wondering..did something happen at a large event for you to lose the weave pole confidence or is it just an on going mental exercise to learn to trust your weave pole training? In general, is it training and proofing the training where the confidence building comes to play or is it more than that?

      To be honest, I’m not 100% sure. My mental block goes WAY back to when I was a junior handler. I remember being 17 and being told that if I was going to have a weave mistake, let it be on the entry as it will be quicker to fix a missed entry than to fix a dog popping at pole 10. I guess that just stuck with me. In the fall of 2020 I lost a big event due to P!nk popping the poles which is very unlike her. I still remember that vividly. I also continue to be reinforced for supporting the end of the weaves (it didn’t get me in trouble on any of my runs) so I just keep doing it. I’m sure eventually a run will happen were I *HAVE* to trust them and I hope that helps get me over my mental block 😉
