start off low and build it up better with 2 people get the dog running jumping over and give them a tip bit just keep calling the dog between you move the fence up till you get them jumping [bANNED TEXT] you want.

a peace off timber //i.e.a plank across you run gate or garden gate ..so every time it has to come out off the run or garden it has to jump it ....start off low ..moving it a bit higher when it clears it ...

I PUT A BORD UP AT THE BACK DOOR LEFT IT OPEN AND PUT THE DOGS DINNER IN SIDE SO IT HAD TO JUMP TO EAT OR PLAY CHASE IN THE GARDEN JUMP SOMETHING SO IT CAN FOLLOW YOU. THATS THE ONE SNOOP

Just an idea here folks . . . but I dont think its a good idea to shut dogs in places like your back garden etc and let them jump the fence or to even train them to jump anything at home. I think its asking for trouble especially if your garden looks out onto a busy street/road or whatever. I always take my pups away from home to teach them to jump, much safer. I have a fenced paddock which is only 5ft high most of the way round, my dogs could easy jump that if they wanted to, but they dont because they know they are not allowed to. I can leave them in the paddock and not have to worry about them jumping out. Each to their own but I think allowing or encouraging a dog to jump the garden fence etc is a bad idea if you look at it in the long run

the reason i asked that is some people are a bit to eager to get there pups jumpin before there bones and joints have developed enough.

 

best of luck

The great thing about teaching jumping is that you can do it at any age, most dogs can learn to jump, and yours are the right sort of age they shouldnt do themselves too much harm, as asme says you dont want to overdo it with young pups

or try putting something across a door way in the house when there dinners ready and move the height up when you think the time is right
