LEG WEAVING

Stage 1

With your dog sat beside you on your left and several tiny treats in each hand, take a large step forward on your right leg and lure your dog past the front of your left leg and behind your right leg. Give a reward. Now step forward on your left leg and lure him through that way. Reward again. Continue in this way, luring with your right hand when he's on the left and your left hand when he's on the right.

Stage 2

Add the command. 'legs' 'weave' or whatever. Your choice.

Stage 3

Removing the lure. With your dog on your left, step forward on your right leg, give the command and pat your right thigh. When he comes through - reward. Repeat on the other leg.

Stage 4

Continue as stage 3 but now reward randomly.

Turning. 180deg

As your dog goes through your left leg, bring him round it and at the same time swivel both feet on the spot and now your right leg is forward and you can continue.
