Agility Training for Dogs : Use Jump Training for Dog Agility Training

[TheBarrelsGirl]

Hmm how about using a dog that doesn't no how to jump next time because my dog wont go over the jumps of the lead :/

[jennroxursox08]

8 people cnt jump

[jennroxursox08]

that dog is very trained iv never seen a dog stay focused on the trainer like that

[WildKittenRae]

Does she seem really nervous to anyone else?

[MsOfficiallyawesome]

bolt is gud plz watch him

[lovepuppy513]

That dog is beautifully trained. :O

[orcasandhorses]

Does anyone know how long the average dog's "canter" stride is? I don't know the term for dogs, just horses. hehe thanks. :P :D

[potatoehead2k11]

@orcasandhorses it depends how big the dog is :D

[dogagility123]

thank you for including the jumps CANNOT be over the withers until they are fully trained. one of my friends threw out her dogs shoulders by doing this.

[MiraJavaStudios]

I was taught that you should always praise, like really praise the dogs after doing any part of the course. I went to a friend's house today, they have an agility course set up in their backyard. Their 3 Aussies are AKC tournament champions, and he taught me that it was really important to get the dog very excited, and make him want to do the course to please you. I guess it really is true, because I went home, tried it with my really lazy Chihuahua, and he was all hyper and very happy to please

[WhirlAwayPetChannel]

I find this diffucult to teach my dog because she will either run under, or around them.

[EmilxCastagnier]

I teach my dog jumps with my leg and a treat xD

[125darkangel]

hmmmmm......i wonder what the jump height is for a jack russel

[Jumpymad123]

how high could a small jrt jump?

[TheEquestrianChick]

@Jumpymad123 I have a jack russell terrier, they say that they can jump 4 times there height, but i dont go that high with my dog, check out some of my videos of you'd like :D x

[sop1toalto2]

my shorkie clears 22 inches she is tiny! dose anyone know what height she would jump in competition? i want to enter her she jumps, tunnels and is leaning the a frame and see-saw quickly! i am training her myself after working at a kennel for 3 years but i never worked with agility i just watched alot! and i think she is almost ready!

[nicoreal89]

my dog crawls under the bars and when i block the gap under it goes around the jump  we dont have a agility or any dog sport here but a border collie needs exersice

[Horsecrazyforever92]

try making the jumps Very short, like 4 in. off the ground first, then gradually make it higher. it took me 2 mo to train my dog from 1 1/2 ft. to 2 ft

and dont rush it cuz then ur dog wont like Jumping!

i hope it helped if u need anymore help, just ask!

[Emcne16]

@nicoreal89 does your dog have a favourite toy/treat is so try that (coaxing over the bars). Also another thing i use with my dog because she does the same thing sometimes , i jump over the bars as well , it sounds stupid but it works very well.

[Bubble734]

that dog is so well trained!! my dog is really good at jumping (he can go really high) but he has to follow a treat over he doesn't go on command. I'm gonna try to teach him though. :D

[frappegirl1]

that dog gots A LOT of energy..

[cicishirley]

that is sooooooo funny my dog does the same thing i wish she would go over i mean how many things do we jump over in a day

[wirbleworldkristy]

my dog has alot of potential but he gets bored to easley and goes under the bars instead of jumping

[agileagility]

I would start teaching that he HAS to jump. Do small jumps at first so that your dog cant go under and use lots of praise and reward.

[Sherraleex]

@wirbleworldkristy

Start With A Lead

That Should Work ;)

[Pintomare11]

@wirbleworldkristy

put more bars under the top bar

[THEBIGGESTSKI11ETFAN]

@wirbleworldkristy lol

[TheLouraa]

@wirbleworldkristy haha yeah i know exactly what you mean. just keep it fun for the dog

[breyerbaby123]

@wirbleworldkristy put a blanket or towel over the bar\jump and it will look like a solid figure and they HAVE to go over it thats what i do with my dogs

[JumperHorseGirl]

@wirbleworldkristy my advice is put a towel on the bar so it looks like there is a wall. He will jump over it. Hope it helps!

[agileagility]

Well, I train dogs, and thats exactly how I do it. Start with bars on the ground to get the idea. Even bars on the grounds to introduce the puppies work.

[grayce13]

I really need help i want my dog to be in agility becuase he really likes to run he loves to pull me on my skates and skateboard ANYWAY HE IS NOT A PUPPY AND IV GOTTEN HIM TO JUMP OVER POLES BUT NOT TO HIGH AND I NEED TO NO WHAT U THINK HOW CAN I GET HIM TO DO AGILITY AND HE DOESENT PLAY WITH TOYS SO I USE TREATS

[ReflectionStudios]

I would think that the best option would be to enroll him in an agility class.

[agileagility]

Look into local trainers, or research it more and learn how.

[kareenarose]

EXPLANE MORE

[AgilityHelp]

Great vids but they really need to add more training step by step and less talking.

[Lilcool88]

I like the advice, but I wish it was a dog that didn't know agility so it would be more easier for me to learn since that dog knows agility already so your just showing us not teaching step by step.

[animallover151999]

OMG I totally agree with you!

[dready187]

@Lilcool88 agreed, they used a dog that has the jump command and is familiar with the hurdles so whats the sence in the video?

[daidreamer4sky]

I honestly, dont like the clicker. It doesnt work for me. I discorvered that my dogs react more to toys and treats.

[Mariji18]

The clicker is a precursor to treats or toys. You click then give a treat or toy. So it should work because the moment you click you give them a treat or toy. The click in itself is not the reward it is just letting the dog know it did what you wanted right and you are going to reward them. You may not be using the clicker the right way or done enough training with the clicker before teaching tricks.

[Joshlowe360]

you cant just give them treats or they can get obesity.

praise is much better.

my mum is a vet.

[chloedevos]

that chick was so nervous she started cracking her nuckles

[Natalina85]

If I could only get my sheltie that well-trained!! Someday, someday...

[ShortySophie4ever]

good but dogs do avoid the jump how do u stop that

[IrishaKonstantinovna]

this was really helpful, now i know where to start with my dog. Thanks

[AgilityMalamute]

Great vid-- lots of info in under 2 mins.

[mightymikaagility]

Good vid

[Boola52]

this would help more if you had a dog who has never done this b4 and was learning it the smae way our dogs would learn it. It would also help if you said how to teach your dog to actually do the jump. But good video.

[horselover987654321]

i really agree.

[ilyTtixie406]

I totaly agree, they really should give a little more info in training. But it's a good vid for a experenced dog. :)

[jarek8644]

my dog gos around them any suggestions?

[eoarctic]

use a clicker and treats. At first click and treat any interest the dog has in the jump, then move to c/t jumping over the bar, THEN add your motion. If you at first stand still so the dog isolates out the jump itself from you and your movement he will know more what exactly you want... Buy Linda Mecklenburg's book on Jumping from Clean Run.... Good Luck!!!

[heartforagility]

great advice! it's also good for the dog to have some pre-knowledge of what the clicker means, most teach this by just clicking and then treat over and over a few times untill the dog understands the concept that a click equals a treat. some people whom are just starting out with a clicker make the common mistake of not teaching their dog what the individual click means and the dog may become confused

[jansenr1]

thanks this helped me with my doggie :)

[CallieHorse4000]

Great video.
