Lab 10,979 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Its just confidence. On day it will just do it and that will be it. I've noticed one of my pups panics at a fence that he hurt himself on when he was younger and yet he can jump double that hieght normally. Now a bit older no fence stops them( in reason).... 1 Quote Link to post

frankel 2,123 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 practice will make perfect.. try taking it with a dog that is confident at jumping it might help. Quote Link to post
kps1979 1,308 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 my bitch was the same mate, i made a temp kennel and it was 4ft high, i used to sit on roof and she would just jump straight on with me, but out in the field would stand at a fence half the height, this was when she was 14month old, now shes 20 months shes jumping every fence gate, or what ever is in the way, mind if she can get under them she will do rather than jump! its amazing just how much a dog can change in a few months, youll be saying the same in 6 months, all the best mate Quote Link to post
