pup jumping

[jinnyfizz 5]

There is always an exception to the rule, and I have seen dogs working into their teenage years as well, but generally speaking a dog which isn't allowed to grow strong before it is put to work will suffer in it's latter years from arthritis and other such skeletal related disorders.

 

Worth remembering that a dog will avoid showing pain as this would be a weakness in the wild and the weakest can be culled out in a pack situation. Us humans might think they are ok, but they will continue to work on despite severe pain and sometimes without our knowledge because it is their instinct to do so.

You shouldn't even be thinking of making a pup jump until it's at least a year old and the bones are strong and fixed in their place!

It may seem as though they can do it, but it will shorten their useful active life by years!!!

finaly got bailey jumping fences as he would only jump things he couldent see through so im well pleased with him. also his retreving is 99.9% too,,soo will just have to wait to next season to see if all the training pays off he is 4 month old

 

Jump training is the same as all other training, provided the jump is kept relative to the pups age and growth and no sudden hard awkward landing then it is good exercise.

You have to be sensible about it all, never overface a pup or make it difficult, leasure jumps are fine but dont try to make a pup jump too high for the sake of it, gates and high fences are for the fully mature pup.

I have used this for nearly 30 years and never had any problems even retired lurchers still jumping for fun.

 

I have always been able to tell if my dogs are in pain, not showing pain because of pack weakness, do dogs not wince or yelp when hurt or get knocked, ok some dogs dont but you can still tell if in pain or carrying injury, thats only my humble opinion. All the best. WR

its like you say.. if you know your dog and spend time watchin the way it runs strikes and jumps (etc) then you will soon pick up a injury that the dog is trying not to show..

agree 100% there,

 

just thought you was making it a fact that it will knock years of,

 

just try read you pups and keep it easy for them until they mature, always rember they are willing to please so wont show any pain as jinnyfizz says,
