Dylan’s Blog: Weave Training (again!)

Over Christmas Dylan finally clicked with the weaves, I’m so pleased! After the issues we had when I closed up the gap I was going to leave them spaced apart from a while longer, but one day it all just came together. He hasn’t quite decided whether or not to bounce or left/right step, and at the moment does a mixture of both. I haven’t quite decided whether I’m happy about that or not – I think I’d prefer him to bounce or step – but then again I have a feeling he will settle into a pattern when he feels more confident and comfortable with weaving in general, so I’ll see how it goes.

The only problems we have are entirely my fault, as usual! Kim weaves fastest when I’m at her side or in front, she doesn’t like weaving away from me (although she will). Since Dylan is already faster than Kim, I worked on getting him to weave no matter where I was, particularly when I was behind. Unfortunately it worked a bit too well, and now Dylan prefers to weave when I’m behind or at the side, but not when I’m in front.
