I am sold on the 2 x 2 method..I have trained 4 dogs on Weaves..my lab was first and was taught with the push pull method..he never had particularly good weaves..both my cavaliers were initially taught with channel weaves..they did great until we came to straight weaves..with them slightly apart they were great but they had a lot of trouble transitioning to straight weaves..the older cav still stresses at the weaves, the younger cav as soon as I realized he really didn't understand I started retraining with the 2 x 2 method which had just started gaining some popularity and he much better and more consistent then the older cav which was also retrained with 2 x 2 but still stresses at teh weaves..Flyer (poodle) was trained from the begining on 2 x 2 and he at under 2 years of age already has better weaves than either of the cavs..I also like the portability of the 2 x 2 weaves .. I can put them in the back of my car and take them anywhere to practice..*G*
