I think the answer isn't based on a breed but each individual dog. Our oldest Cavalier in agility probably has the most problems with the teeter. He hates it when it moves. Surprisingly, he is great on the weaves. Since the first time he weaved through them, he does it perfect almost all the time. Very different from the other dogs (including the Shelties) in our class. And he loves to weave, he is SO excited to weave compared to any other obstacle. Our second boy hasn't started yet, but my husband is already worried he will be the one to either jump the contact zones or miss some weaves because he is too excited to get to the next obstacle. We've been stewards at several agility shows now, and are convinced that the real key to success isn't how good your dog is at agility, it's how good you are at handling. I think most of the time when a dog messes up, you can see where the handler made an error.
