hunt and fish 35 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I dont like my dogs jumping, only got my 14 month old bull whippit back from vets yesterday after needing stitches in his stomach from barbwire after chasing a rabbit that went through a fence. Also where i hunt a lot of the fields are beside the road and a few big ones so isnt the safest having my dogs jump. Quote Link to post
morton 5,368 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 To much stuff gets away from a poor jumping lurcher where i hunt.I start them off on low obstacles and go higher as their confidence grows. Quote Link to post
rogue 9 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I just get mine to jump small boards 2 start with then move on from there. some dogs take to it better and quicker than others. This is a pic of my bitch jumpin an average size fence at 4 1/2 months Quote Link to post
DOVEY182009 12 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Jumping is a must for me, not so much whilst chasing on the lamp as u can stop most things from making off through gaps with a quick shake of the lamp, most frustrating thing is [bANNED TEXT] u hav to lift a dog over every gate and fence in sight, i hav a bullx that will jump fine whilst chasing but wont jump when just passing over a gate or fence, my saluki pup clears the big 6 bar gates even without touching them sometimes so the barbedwire fences are not a problem injury wise.

pukerk 161 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 if you decide that you want your dog/pup to jump always start him/her off with something it can step over or do a little hop over, and when its more cofident higher the obstacle a little one step a! remember practice makes perfect it worked for my dogs anyway!

DOVEY182009 12 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Thats spot on mate, you need to build confidence in jumping just lyk most things with a lurcher, the amount of times my pup misstimed a jump is endless. Quote Link to post

the lamping ferreter 160 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 the way i teach them is take them 2 a fence that isint to high with no barbed wire and i get over it and leave the dog the other side till it jumps then do it again and again and it will jump thats what ive always done Quote Link to post
SLiP tHe DoG ! 129 Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) i sort of need mine too , i usually just walk and if they jump they jump if time goes on and they still dont like jumping i try and learn them ....people always mention barbed wire .... but i never let mine jump pole gates .....barbed wire you end up with alot of stitches but get away with cuts etc ..... but them gates snap dogs legs ...ive seen it happen before and ive never let either of my dogs jump one since Edited October 17, 2010 by SLiP tHe DoG !
