Jh - interesting you mentioned the Corgi you saw doing the weaving with his/her head "held up high." When Taylor weaves he keeps his head low to the ground. You may not yet understand this but when he weaves from the left (ie I am positioned on his left), he retains perfect concentration with his head down - and yes that happy, smiley, joyful look that other people sees when he competes - and I never do - but when he weaves from the right (ie me positioned on his right side) he might complete half the journey correctly then put his head up, lose concentration and "blow" a perfectly executed weave.
So naturally, in competitions I have to manuvore him so that he comes into the weave on the left.
I'll ask the experts about this head thing.
