It doesn't matter if the handler is on the right or left side of the weave poles but the dog has to enter the first weave pole from the left. In other words the dog's left shoulder should be closest to the weave pole. Hope this makes sense.
You can start by putting the weave poles a little farther apart than they should be until your dog gets the idea of weaving...then you can tighten them up to the distance they should be.
We took agility lessons for over a year and the weave poles and teeter totter were the hardest to learn. Macy loved the tunnels and hurdles but be careful because I think that is where Macy hurt her knee. Don't let your dog jump any higher than they should.
