The professionals say the weave poles are the hardest to train and they actually use plastic guides when begining training. I'm going to use the plastic fence pieces sold to put in gardens to make a path thru the poles and see how they do. They like the jumps alot, and the tunnel's a bit scary at first but it's short enough they get over it quickly. Tinkerbell followed me right thru it her first time (made me think she's done this before ... she's a rescue, I just got her in April)!
I'll be adding a bedsheet to the open tunnel to make it a closed tunnel in the near future.
Definitely fun!!!
