Should your dog be apparently so-so in whatsoever elements of initial obstacle or retrieving training , coast up feeble areas prior to initiating the “Retrieve Over High Jump.” Otherwise , the animal may protract preceding problem behaviors into the modern activity.

When starting the Retrieve Over High Jump , commence that day's session with a Retrieve followed by a recall over the jump. If your dog doesn't achieve each exercise justifiably , labor on problem areas until you're convinced. Initiate formal High Jump retrieving by having your dog Sit in front of and facing the jump from a distance of ten feet. Set the height even with the animal's elbows. Have him take and hold a dumbbell.

Command , "Stay , " verbally and via the hand sign. Walk to the jump's contrary side , preferably by stepping over it (to propose the correct route). Position yourself within moving distance of the obstacle. As one flowing action , slap the top board's limit , order , "Bring - Hup! , " and back absent to forge landing room. Repeat the series three times , and intent today's training.

The next day , with pooch at heel , hurl a light dumbbell over the jump , sending him as it lands by sequentially commanding "Hup , " "Bring" and "Hup." The initial "Hup" sends the animal , and "Bring" should be timed while he's airborne , going for the object. Command the second "Hup" immediately after the dog picks up the dumbbell. Now the task becomes phasing out the commands applied apparently for teaching , waiting several seconds before sending the dog after the dumbbell , and gradually raising the jump to the desired height.
