The weaves we battle with every week, and tbh, she kind of knows what to do but loses her concentration with it. The hardest thing to teach her was the dog walk. At my other class they have a regulation sized one which is quite high. Ruby was so nervous of it the first few times she went on that I told the trainer to leave it and I would get a smaller one to practice on at home with her, but even on the lower one she’s not happy. She’s all legs everywhere and because of the narrowness of the walk it frightens her when she can’t feel the walk with her foot and then she panics [and then I panic.........]. Anyway, we miss this out at classes now – I don’t see the point in forcing her to do it when she isn’t happy, plus, I’m too scared she’ll fall of it and hurt herself.
If your kids want to try weaving with your Ruby – the garden centres sell canes - usually used as plant supports, they’re brill for this and very cheap too!
