M. has been having more trouble with weaves entrances lately. So for the last two weeks, we’ve ‘gone back to kindergarten’ using Susan Garrett‘s 2×2 weaves method, especially concentrating on and clicking every offered ‘entrance’.

Unfortunately, after a week of solid entrances in a pair of pole, M. lost entrances again as soon as I moved her up to 4 poles. So this week (and probably next) I’m holding her at 4 poles, clicking correct entrances but giving higher-value rewards for offered right-side and full travel through all 4 poles.

I’m also helping her out using some 12″ garden fencing to create a guard-rail along one side of the poles. And as I discovered in the beginning, in the heat of the 30-minutes-stand M. has hard-wired, I’m just going to have to be patient enough to let her think it through.
