More backyard agility

First, a question: does anyone have any suggestions for getting a dog motivated about weave poles? Lili will do them, but only under protest. They bore her! Seriously! [I]Anything[/I] is more interesting to her--leaves falling, a gnat flying by, a passing cloud... :rolleyes: She has a lot of trouble staying focused for a complete pass, and we're only working with a stretch of 6 poles at a crack. Should I try shortening the line to 4 or 5 poles and go from there? Find a better-tasting treat? :D

And now, down to the picture portion of this thread:

First, some pictures of Grace...

Although Lili is bored to tears with weave poles, she does, on occasion, lead through them (as opposed to following a treat). Then she looks over her shoulder at me as if to say, "See, Mom? I understand what you want, it's just too boring for a smart little cookie like me!" :dog: :laughing:

After her initial distrust of it, the tunnel has become one of her favorite events. She'll go in on command even if I'm not guiding her to it :highfive: Some pictures of Lili perfecting her tunneling skills:

and popping back out again! She does enjoy her tunnel now! :laughing:
