Okay. Need a little weave pole problem solving. I want to nip skipping the last couple of poles in the bud. We just went to 12 poles about 4 weeks ago. All good until the last couple of weave sessions this week. My 16 month old BC started taking 3 tries to get all the poles. And this is with lots of support and low distraction. Think I should introduce guides now? She learned weaving with the 2×2 method.
I think it’s a good idea to train guides so you can use them as part of your overall training plan. But I think another aspect that you can use is to add a LOT of distractions to SIX poles or even 6 offset poles to really strengthen the understanding and that will help carry over to 12 poles and finally 12 poles with distractions.

Does the height on the poles where you place the weave pole guides vary based on the height of the dog? Do you have a general guideline of how high to place the guides?
I feel like the general rule of thumb is shoulder height, but I think it depends on if your dog is inclined to jump them or go under them. You can raise and lower as needed.
I also know for big dogs (since you have weims) it is pretty common to have two sets on – maybe ankle height and shoulder height – and then you can fade.
