With your dog furnish in front of you , perpendicular both jumps , configuring them at slavish height and setting them ten feet apart. Do it again. Then stalk your dog to a point between the obstacles and a dozen feet behind them. Aim the animal toward the High Jump , and order , "Stay." Walk to an equidistant defacement , relative to the obstacles and the dog. Emphatically point and step toward the High Jump and order , "Hup."

As your dog sails over the rectify jump , compliment , "Good Pup , " and take him back to the starting point. Command , "Stay , " return to the location contrary the animal's , and repeat the practice. Do the routine twice supplemental , then design the session. On the next day , repeat the previous practice once. Then "Stay" your companion , having first aligned him toward the other impediment , the Bar Jump. Return to your order location , and - adding pronounced cadaver language - order him over this second jump. If he does as upon even terms with it as he did with the first hurdle - and he probably will - great!

Now the labor is gradually raising the jumps' heights , repositioning them until they're eighteen to twenty feet apart , phasing out aligning pooch toward either jump , and starting him from at least twenty feet. During the teaching series , should your pet take whatever action other than the rectify one , don't whip him. Perform a great deal of labor at which he excels (to complete high) , and scream it a day. Initiate a supplemental structured method tomorrow.

Directed Jumping - Structured Method

Begin by leaving your dog upon a ìSit-Stayî , fifteen feet from and facing a Standard High Jump. Walk to the hurdle's contrary side and order , "Hup." Skip the complete. Repeat the practice , but this time incite leftward a few feet as your pet leaves the ground; turning to face him as he lands. Run through this routine three supplemental times , then close the session.

Start the next period by leaving your dog upon a Sit-Stay , fifteen feet from and facing a standard High Jump. Walk to the obstacle's other side , and after standing there for a few seconds , incite a few feet to your left. Adding an exaggerated hand sign , verbally order your dog over the jump. (Should he try to trot to you , block him and repeat the "Hup" order while gesturing toward the impediment. If penury be , heave him over the hurdle.) Repeat this new process three times before ending the period.

Over the next few sessions , gradually post yourself farther left until you're twenty feet removed from the centerline between the two jumps. Though fewer distance is required in competition , the extra-mile principal operates here by saying to your dog that he's to clear the indicated impediment regardless how far you are from it.

The next stage is steadily touching your pet's starting point to your left (his right). "Sit-Stay" your friend three feet left of the two jumps' centerline , and stalk to a point contrary his new starting post. Adding immoderate cadaver language (stepping and pointing toward the desired jump) , order , "Hup."
