22 weaves vs 24 weaves

24". Around here, basically all the trials are giving us 24" now, because people voted with their wallets and skipped the trials that didn't.
What I noticed, as everyone was in the process of switching over, was that it was the really big dogs and the really small dogs who seemed to really notice the change. The medium dogs, for the most part, just kept treating them the same. Meg had/has no issue going back and forth.

I only have multiple sets of 22" at home and Crossbone has had ZERO issue transitioning to 24" at practice and at trials. However, I will be getting 24" this summer.
I equally train at home and at classes/trials, so Crossbone is asked to switch and adjust from 22-24 regularly but if you are going to spend more time with your weaves at home than you are with weaves at classes/trials---best to learn with the correct spacing. Weave poles are one of the obstacles that trip up the most people at trials anyway --why not stack the deck a bit more in your favor.

This is one of the main reasons for actually buying the metal base ones, it's just the cost making it more of a when question. The PVC ones were made with 1/2 to avoid the base being to big, but that also means the whole thing isn't as stable(needs to be staked outside) and the actual poles the dog is weaving through aren't the correct size either.
Alright, thank you for all the responses. It looks like the weaves will continue to be placed on hold until the 24 inch metal base ones can be bought. This is the best part of chaz, the amount of working knowledge that's on here.
