The dog has been weaving!
Yeap! Weaving! :)
About a month ago I was watching some dog agility clips on YouTube and you can imagine how envious was I. Not only the dogs looked confidence and smart, they looked so happy and contented. So as usual, I started googling around for info on dog agility.
I don’t think I really want Xiao Bi to play the whole sport. My thought would be just to let her play a part of it and let her feel proud of herself – well it’s not that she is not proud of herself. I just want her to be proud of some good ability, instead of her being proud of her rebelliousness…
Anyway. I came to a site showing some DIY ways of building some tools for dog agility. I’m not sure why but I’m particularly interested in the weave poles. So I showed my dad the photos and diagrams and asked if he could help me build something similar. And it turned out, really really well. :)
Not sure if this is up to the standard requirement but I don’t really care since it’s not for her to compete or whatsoever. I haven’t attached coloured tapes on the poles yet (as instructed) but Xiao Bi has already been weaving for 3 days. She still needs some food guidance to lure her into weaving but she is getting the idea of the whole thing pretty fast. She started off running to her own directions during the first few times and is now weaving correctly at least 8 out of 10 times!
I still need to train her into paying more attention on me, but if you ask if I’m proud of her? Sure I am! :)
