How to teach your dog "Leg Weave"

Weaving through your legs in a figure 8 — an advanced trick.

Learn it in the game

Difficulty ★★★★ · In the game it takes about 2 sessions (1–2 minutes each).

🐶 Practice it in the game

Teach your real dog

Cue word: "Weave" · Hand signal: 🦵 Tap your leg · Learn first: Spin, Come

  1. Stand with your legs apart
  2. Lure through one side
  3. Lure through the other side
  4. Link them into a figure 8

Common mistake

Asking for the full figure 8 at once confuses the dog.

Caution

Keep sessions under 5 minutes. Stop if your dog is tired or uninterested and try again later. Even shorter for puppies and seniors.
