Robin Nuttall said in rec.pets.dogs.behavior:
Stuck-in-ground weave poles work well for me, though they have to go in before the ground freezes. Electric fencing poles with 3/4" PVC slipped over the poles (less than $20). Depends on dog size and drive. For smaller dogs and for just starting out stick in the grounds can be fine, but I've learned from my own big dogs that it's best to graduate to stiff poles as soon as possible. Both Friday and Rocky pound through my stick-in-the-ground poles; maybe it's because my soil has been really compacted in the weave area (and that it contains a lot of clay), but the worst that's happened has been the odd pvc tube being flung off the fiberglass pole. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog.
