Tallyho 181 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 i used to get mine in the garden and but a very small obstical , get the dog playing with a toy, then i would throw it over the obsicle most of the time they would jump it with out a second thought, then i gradually made it higher and then every time they jumped ide say over, but dont make the obstical to big to start of with you want it nice and small .

Lennard 10 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Yeah start with a planch of sorts 10 inches high in a doorway and increase the hight slowly and command and praise them when they scramble over it. Take damn good care that you or yours don't trip!. When they got the idea go and jump easy obstacles outside. Don't overdo it it has to stay fun. L Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MarcusOvDarlo 0 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Start small and work your way up from there, lots of praise make it fun for the dog. Yeah, Lots of praise. And like someone above said ( can't remember name sorry ) Keep it occupied with a treat/toy before chucking it over and saying up/over. MOD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
manx hunter 0 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 i do it in a passageway so the dog cant run round the obstical you have made an like every one says keep praising him/her Quote Link to post Share on other sites
