Dog trick tutorial on how to teach backward weaves – weaving backwards.
A lot of people struggle with training their dog to do backward weaves, here is the Kikopup Method of how to train this trick! Here is an in depth tutorial on how to teach the rear end awareness exercise which is the first step to training this trick! You'll need to train this first to get the smooth turns that I am getting in the video π https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEqQDw8Jo9M

Happy Training!
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!
Awesome! π
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!
Clever! π
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 π 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 π thanks for the training tips!!
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.
Yay! Kikopup is back! π 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!
Oh thanks! This is actually my training field at my house! π My dad comes round and helps with gardening. So it looks super nice in the background thanks to him π
Yay your back β€
Yes. Its been a while.
Oh my thank you!! I have had problems with my dog backing when Im behind herβ€ Bless~
Glad I could be of help!
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.
Awe thanks for the motivation π
Awesome!! β₯
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!!
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?
Miss Kikopup, you really made it easy. We got it down. Thanks a lot.
Do you eventually pair a new single command after you pair the other two together?
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. π
Amazing Kikopup!!! Im a fan of yours!!! Great job!
Looks like fun, I will have to train me first, lol
Love it thanks.
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…
I suggest using a mat as a target, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr-lVzck0oY but also some dogs are made differently than others structurally so backing up is more difficult and taxing for some than other.
I love a trainer with dogs that backup their training, I heard about you on another channel by accident, that I donβt subscribe to, very awesome, you have a new subscriber, Iβve been watching your videos, I think we live in the same city. Thank you for this amazing channel.
luv your videos, you explain it very well how to do it so we can teach our dogs. your my favorite you tube trainer. my 18 week old border collie is coming along nicely. thanks again for sharing from down under Australia
Awe thanks! Congrats on your pup! π
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
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
Canβt wait to try this!
