Working on Extended and Collected Jumping 3/23/07

[wodatsfly12]

where did you get those jumps?? i want to try it with my neighbors dog!! lol

[assortedagility]

I made them myself out of PVC. MUCH cheaper than purchasing them already made.

[wodatsfly12]

ok im stupid so i don't no what PVC is?!? :P will you tell me???

[assortedagility]

it is the white material that you see the jump made up of. It's plastic.. called PVC piping.

[ShowDobe]

Good Job! He is so cute! Is he the one you use for showing or do you use one of your CS?

I tried to get my dog to do jumps kinda how you did where I went to the other side with the treat, she just went around it lol.

[assortedagility]

Yes, he's my show dog that came to me not even knowing sit but is now doing agility and obedience.

When you first start out, start a ta very low jump height For a big dog like Marq I started at 12".

[agility4me444]

I started with no bar then worked my way up, but then again stella wasnt as big as marq and stellas training kinda stuck with me lol

[assortedagility]

Yes, Marq is a big dog so I started higher. For a small dog it would start with much lower. Though I wouldn't suggest no bar at all. I'd just suggest a very low jump.

[agility4me444]

my trainers style is different than any ive seen but  like wed make sure we could run a whole course b4 we added bars and idk y... she did that with the bc's too haha

[TheGoldLily]

He is so pretty!Love his markings and he has a cute pwoerful way of jumping!Are you going to get registered soon?

[assortedagility]

He's already registered with NADAC, CPE, and UKC.  Has been since last year. His first practice trial was last July.

I do love the parti colored dogs. :D Notice both my cocker and pointer are partis. Hehe.

[TheGoldLily]

Lol. Wow.Cool he is registered. Gotta start posting videos of his trials. Keep up the good work!=D

[flatcoatluver]

He is amazing at jumping. You gave me new ideas!

[DogTrainingGirl101]

Sorry, yes I mean collected. ;)

[DogTrainingGirl101]

Good job!! He looks so much more better jumping that way, way more gracefull =)

[assortedagility]

You mean he looks better jumping collected? His extended jumping hasn't changed any. We might eventually address that once we go outside for classes and use jump chutes, but for now his extended jumping hasn't changed any at all.

[riptideagility]

Looks like he's got really great natural jumping form with those loonnng athletic pointer legs! He looks great!

[ObiWanKitsune]

Nice job! He seems to be picking it up really well!

[PinayTiger]

OMG, look at him go! He's so graceful. Hehehe. Keep up the great work, and the song is AWESOME!

[assortedagility]

Ooops! I totally forgot to put the song title and artist in my description! (No more answering "what song is that" questions, and no longer forcing people to ask it. :p)

I normally don't listen to emo music. But it fit EXACTLY the same time as the video.. so why not.

[PinayTiger]

=P Emo music rocks!!!! I'm emo XD Hahahaha. =) I don't dress it though anymore, just cause! But Taking Back Sunday, I consider them Emotional Punk?? Lol. Some people classify them as punk. But they're awesome too.
