I have Bolo on 4 poles of weaves. When I tried to add 5 and 6 he started to have a high failure rate on Pole 3. So anyway I have backed down to 4 poles again and his success rate is pretty good. Should I continue with 4 poles to build understanding or try something a little different. I brought 5&6 initially in at perhaps 6 feet away, but the closer they got to 1 through 4, the worse his performance became.

Hi Marty! This here looks good. Without seeing the failures you were describing, I would go to three sets (6 poles) but all three sets open to 1 and 7. Basically, create a small channel. Don’t have the middle set straight so you can minimize the risk of him have difficulty there.
Ok. Here is our work with 6 poles in the 1 and 7 positions. I think he is a little sensitive to my motion. If I run with him I think he hurries and make mistakes. On the bright side a neighbor driving by and honking didn’t bother him a bit.

Good work!

After pretty good success with 6 poles we have moved to 12, but in this particular sequence I think we had all the failures! Missed entry, popped early, failure to collect. Would you suggest going back to 6 with more proofing work? It looks to me like on his successful attempt his speed was pretty good.

This is where you need a bit of “debugging”. I would try taking away the second half of the weaves so it’s just 6 and trying to same sequence to see if he gets the entry.
In terms of working 12 poles in general (if you’re struggling to make the leap from 6 to 12), I like to set up 6 – gap – 6: https://baddogagility.com/the-last-inch-closing-the-weave-poles/
In this article, I do the first 6 offset and the second 6 inline, but you could do both inline if it’s not the closing that is hard but the number of poles.
I second everything that Sarah said. For this sequence/video, once he missed the entry I would have pulled the second set of weaves away and just worked on the entry. You were dealing with a couple variables and always best to separate them. Once you got a few good entries that you were able to reward, then I’d go back to 12.
Jenn, how does this spacing look for Myles as far as the width of the channel?

They might be a bit too wide.
