Wednesday Night Weave Practice

Tonight I worked with Flex on his weave entries both on and off side. He is very consistent with the onside entry (80 to 90%) success rate. The off side entries leave a little bit to be desired. His success rate on these are 40 to 50% right now. We spent more time on the off side weaves. I am resisting the urge to lure him but at times I find myself wanting to. When he misses 3 or 4 tries in a row I switch to on side so he can be successful for a few tries. I am hoping that this reminds him of what I am looking for (but I am not optimistic). Anyway, we will continue to work these at night so that I can get him consistently finding that entry no matter where I stand.

As for Gus' weaves, at home they are beautiful. He is consistently finding his entries from a variety of weird angles and completes 6 (I only have room for 6 poles inside) with speed and good foot work). He had at 90% success rate on finding his entries (out of 10 tries) and he completed all attempts at weaving successfully. He did not pop or skip any poles on any of his attempts. Good Job Gus! Let's translate that to practice somewhere else than the Living Room.
