Todays hot topic...Dog Agility Jumps Makes Ideal Training - Part 2!

Agility is a combination of advanced off-leash obedience and obstacle familiarization. Next step is to consider the size and speed of your dog...

Hey Dog Loving Friend,

A full dog agility course is a fantastic environment to have, and it’s not always practical for your home training.

First, think of your backyard size and what it can hold:

• You may want to put together a 8 foot Dog-walk instead of a standard 12 foot
• You may consider 4 single jumps instead of 1 single and a triple jump.
  

A good standard to use is 3/4” PVC up to 1” PVC for most agility jumps or weave poles. If your dog is smaller and lighter in weight, just stick to using 3/4” PVC.

If space allows, setup a jump chute using 8 jumps.

Leave them in place, separate from your course training, and practice a few minutes a day. You can practice straight line exercises, angled jumps, box drills, or circular drills.

Now you can setup two boxes with one introductory jump.

You've now multiplied your drills that you can practice with your dog. Your jump grids can be of recommended size and quantity of jumps.

You can also setup your jumps in a circle with the jump bars perpendicular to the circle or on the circumference of the circle. This pattern also enables you to train a variety of skills.

You can really be ahead of the pack and have two sets of eight jumps...

This is the ultimate in training environment because you can keep a jump grip up at all times that is separate from your course work, and have eight single jumps to have for course work.

Thanks for reading, hope you're enjoying reading and taking action to continue improving your confidence and results.

Dog training....success made easy!
