My 22" beddy/whippet learned by jumping the baby's stair gate on the kitchen door when he was a pup. He then progressed to the 5 1/2 ft garden gate.. (not clean over it though) He now shows a willingness to jump most fencing up to about 4 1/2 foot, and can do 7 bar gates, again not cleanly. He's a bit too willing to jump at times though, has my heart in my mouth when he jumps barbed wire without waiting for the command.

 

Any one else try to get their dogs jumping on command rather than doing it off their own back? Mine does it most of the time.

Yup - hence the 'hup' command etc. Find its also handy as they tend to stop at gates to road etc rather than fly straight over. Same with getting in/out of car or going in/out of kennel.

Mine's 'Get over it!' Usually followed by 'You daft hairy b*****d!' or something to that effect!

Collie out of that lot but the best dog of all would be a collie grey, trouble stopping mine jumping.

I heard that a lurcher holds the record for the high jump.

 

my collie grey pup has been jumping barbed wire fences since four month and now at ten month will jump any thing on command, im actually quite suprised how high she can jump.

I was at a dog event at the weekend, my dalmation/collie holds the long jump record at 16ft, she was thrashed by a deerhound/greyhound jumping 19ft on the sunday. Awesome dog, didn't even really try! :notworthy:

I actually prefer my dogs to jump without a command as while on a run after a bunny they need to jump over obstacles to get the chance of catching it! I'd hate to see my dog watching a bunny running away just because i never told it to jump the fence!

That's OK in the daytime, but I wouldn't be comfortable doing that at night on the lamp... Saying that if a dogs blood is up and he's hot on the tail of a rabbit, I don't think there's many that would stop and look at you waiting for the go ahead!

My dog will jump wire fences cleanly, into artic trailers and even over pheasant pen sections but will not jump a 5 bar gate its embarrasing leaving him sat there whining trying to get through it so I end up lifting him over
