Backward weaves made easy - Dog Tricks

[@patagonrosio]

You are so right about speed and excitement... so I'll try to correct this with my girl 😊 I love your explanation, thanks!!

[@melblacke5726]

I have been putting off teaching the reverse weave because I am lazy but it is winter and my girl needs things to do. We are starting today at the park, it will be mostly deserted because of the cold. We have the figure 8 move down pat at stationary and when I step off she continues to weave now I want to teach it in reverse. She has known the pot lid exercise since she was about 6 months old. I don't even say anything and I have taught her the game of "cha cha" which means she targets my left foot in heel position, including backing up and turning. Eventually I hope to combine it into our kind of free form activity routine that we have developed where we heel weave and play the stationary position change game more or less fluidly. continuously

[@kikopup]

[@gab7344]

Curious to know what do you use to record your videos on to post on you tube if you don't mind me asking Cheers

[@tedjack9184]

Miss Kikopup, you really made it easy. We got it down. Thanks a lot.

I love a trainer with dogs that backup their training, I heard about you on another channel by accident, that I don’t subscribe to, very awesome, you have a new subscriber, I’ve been watching your videos, I think we live in the same city. Thank you for this amazing channel.

[@letsgetpawsitive]

You make it look so easy! Just started with my dog on a small platform. She is 12 already but she started to get it!

[@kikopup]

Awesome! :)

[@oliverestrada7141]

Amazing Kikopup!!! Im a fan of yours!!! Great job!

[@kariwilson2764]

Can’t wait to try this!

[@amoore233]

This is fabulous! My girl is very good with weaving, but this would be fun for her to learn and add to her repertoire! Thanks!!

[@Celineylovesyou]

Emily, this is great! This is sort of how I taught Severus to do backwards weaves. Instead of the pivot though, I used his two cues for spinning right and left + back up. I used it for my KPA DTP compound behavior demonstration! Wonderful tutorial, as always!

[@kikopup]

Clever! :)

[@jeaninea2475]

Yay! Kikopup is back! :D Thank you for the helpful video! Can't wait to try it out with my doggo! Looks like a beautiful park as well! Great background!

[@kikopup]

Oh thanks! This is actually my training field at my house! :) My dad comes round and helps with gardening. So it looks super nice in the background thanks to him :)

[@2coolBorderCollies]

I have been struggling with how to teach this and your video was perfect.... My young BC got foundation of the backward weave very quickly after I watched your video and knew how to build on skills he had like the pivot dish. THANK YOU once again for your excellent help videos.

[@kikopup]

Awe thanks for the motivation :)

[@sashasmith5348]

Yay your back ❤

[@kikopup]

Yes. Its been a while.

[@mouradhidaoui6088]

Thanks again

[@llamalady]

Great video!! Ive adopted a 7y old dog not too long ago, and hes getting the hang of some tricks, its so much fun to be learning new stuff together :D back up is still hard, he doesnt quite understands, always goes into a sit or spinn when I try to lure him back, even a down when I tried from a different angle, but well get there 😂 thanks for the training tips!!

[@kikopup]

I like Kay Laurence's simple trick for getting the first steps back with dogs that nothing else seems to work- you sit on a chair, put a treat under your chair, and then click the moment the dog backs out from under the chair to see if you have more treats. You can then put the treat a little further under your chair and then lure the dog a step even further back in front of you as he backs out.

[@pawzplanet]

Oh my thank you!! I have had problems with my dog backing when Im behind her❤ Bless~

[@kikopup]

Glad I could be of help!

[@trekhardfilms]

Love it thanks.

[@CassieKennedy1998]

I taught this to one of my BCs but what if you ave a dog that doesn't lure backwards easily (specifically when facing away from you)? My other dog learned how to back away from me but this one he still hasn't caught on to yet. And we've been working at it for months...

[@kikopup]

I suggest using a mat as a target, kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaOQnYmwmNBjpbs but also some dogs are made differently than others structurally so backing up is more difficult and taxing for some than other.

[@Mignon_na]

Awesome!! ♥

[@2coolBorderCollies]

Hit a glitch. My young BC will do the back behind on both sides and loves to come through to the front and then do a back behind, however when I try to move to the last step where they go backward between your legs he flips around to come through facing front. Any suggestions?

[@raags5589]

Is it a border collie?

[@artcraft268]

What do you do with her shedding? When I get her between my legs her hair is all over me even when I brush her 3 times a day!😒

[@tacotac10]

Do you eventually pair a new single command after you pair the other two together?

[@kikopup]

Yes. For for sports where you can talk as much as you want, you can use the cues as secondary reinforcers. Your movement also can be the cues. My BCs find the cues highly reinforcing, my chihuahua could care less, and my terrier gets way too excited by my voice. So each dog is different, with my terrier I have very few verbal cues, with my oldest BC she lives for the stuff. :)

Hallo Kiko from Indonesia!! ^_^

[@kikopup]

Hi! From California! :) :) :)

[@707bluedogs]

My dog knows the trick to go between my legs then walk on my feet with me. So whenever I ask her to go between my legs she thinks we are doing that trick. How do I get her to wait for a signal that it’s something else?

[@kikopup]

Call it a different cue- so if "between" means feet on your feet, Then call it "middle" You can also initiate it from a different direction. So if your dog is in front of you or on the left when you ask for his feet on yours, you can ask for simply standing between your legs when the dog comes from the right side, or when asked to sit stay and you stand in front of your dog... Most dogs offer that a little if they know it first, but it goes away with practice- you just have to have two different clear verbal cues. To initially get the dog to be between your legs without putting feet up you could call your dog between your legs, then immediately start walking forward luring the dog to stay between your legs, then the moment you stop mark and feed before your dog has a chance to put his feet up. Conversely people who work a lot on the middle position struggle to get their dogs to put their feet up on their feet at first :)

[@707bluedogs]

kikopup ok thanks! I’ll keep working on it. I’ve always wanted to train backward weaves...all mine to regular weaves pretty well .

[@kikopup]

Yes, don't give up! :) The faster dog in the video also kept standing on my feet at first after learning the your feet on mine trick...

[@kailahgirl5760]

yesss omg i needed this. thank you. Please check out my channel, im a junior trainer and want professional feedback??!

[@concernedcitizen7298]

Sorry but that's not weaving.

[@kikopup]

Its a move in canine freestyle most people call Backward weaves. You can call it something else or train it differently to how I am training it. Most trainers put their own style into the behavior. This is the way I do it. :)
