So, I take it that there is nowhere on the Internet that explains exactly what the 2 x 2 method is! You have to buy the DVD.

I did find some videos on youtube that gave the basic idea.

I haven't found one yet. But I've gone back and watched the DVD a couple of times plus especially wen starting a new dot..it includes a section on what to do if having problems and a workbook that you can print off. Which I found very handy to refer to and when I was teaching two dogs at one time I had one for each dog so I knew what/where I was with each dog.

The DVD is the best way to go. You may see others doing "their version" of 2x2, but it would really be best to watch Susan Garrett's DVD - she is an amazing trainer and instructor.

Just wanted to chime in, I taught Buffy to weave through my legs and she transferred it to the poles however, it was slow and entry was either side.

I just got the Susan Garrett DVD and started just the entry exercises...NO ENTRY problems. From anywhere and she'll be vacuumed into the correct side. Amazing!

Teffy - glad to hear you like the DVD - it is SO worth the money!! I am actually on a webinar call with Susan Garrett right now and she is just the most amazing trainer!

Just a video with my dog weaving at the 50 sec and at the 140 second mark he was not taught with the 2 x 2 method I used the stick in the ground electric fence poles in my backyard in 2 weeks. Mainly using the Weave-O-Matic method. The poles in the show are 24 inch spacing also.

Rocket has always had very nice weaves for a Std Poodle and rarely makes an error.

I say pick a method and just train it every evening for 5-10 minutes for 2 weeks but pick a method that promotes speed if you pick a method that requires luring your dog slowly that is what you will always have.

I have watched the superdogs videos before - it looks like LOADS of fun!!!

Yes the Superdogs are alot of fun I ran Rocket in 62 shows in Calgary Edmonton and Saskatoon and he went to the PNE with a friend and did 60 more shows in front of crowds of 16000 people. They want to do more Superdog show in the US they want to franchise them soon.
