Weave 201B

Teka's class did 3 sequences tonight. The first one was a long straight tunnel to a curved tunnel to weaves (parallel to the long tunnel). From the weaves, we did a front cross to the jump to the right and a 270 (out and around, without sending over another jump to the right) to another jump, lining up perfectly to go back into the weaves. From the weaves, back into the curved tunnel, calling in to a jump in the center-ish leading back into the weaves, bringing over the jump to the right and serpentine to the last jump, further out to the right. There was only one set of weaves for this sequence, but used 3 times. The first time through was essentially the same as the weaves course that we just flubbed. (Is that a word or did I create it?!) My partner, N, said I should have stayed with Teka to the end, but the instructor, A, said that we need to work on "independent completion." Whoo-hoo, that's what I thought when M told me I pulled Teka out of the weaves--she is supposed to finish them once she starts, no matter what I'm doing. A told me to work on it at home by moving out while she is doing the weaves. She said I could put a treat pouch out at the end.

The second sequence was an entry practice exercise. We did a 4 pole, left to a 4 pole, sharper left to a 6 pole, angled back to the first 4 pole, right out to a jump and wrap back to the original weaves but going the opposite way, to the 6 pole, out to a jump on the left, with a wrap back to the second 4 pole (again not the original direction), and to the first 4 pole. Teka did great on all the entries.

The last sequence only had the 3 pole, surrounded by jumps, to practice entries, but we also were able to practice wraps. For some reason, Teka had trouble with one of the entries and it was only slightly off perfect alignment. Once she got it though, she got it all.
