Jumping

[2Painless2btrue 11]

Mine learnt to jump by hurdling the child safety gate in my old flat. That then progressed to him climbing the six foot wooden gate in the garden...

Good point! I no longer teach my dogs to jump, except into the back of the Land rover. After getting the Vet to stitch up nasty tears from barbed wire I decided that I prefer my dogs not to jump it. My garden is surrounded by sheep grazing which is another reason to keep my dogs respecting wire! I know this wouldn't suit many of you but it works for me!

No I find just start on something low and forgiving like a dry stone wall with grass either side or a wooden fence with nothing they can catch themselves on and simply climb over and walk away calling them eventually they get so panicky and frustrated that your leaving them it overcomes the fear of the actual jump and they just jump, simple.Its always worked for me but like I said make sure its something you know they can jump easily and no risk of injury and then let them get confident and gradually go higher and higher
