Dog Trick of the Day

2/3/13

Jump:

1.Get a bar and wait for your dog to walk across it by sitting on the other side of the bar.  Click and treat when done.

2.Repeat step 1 until your dog is walking across the bar constantly.

3.Raise the bar a little off the ground and wait for your dog to jump across it if it's small or walk across it if it's big.  It depends on the height of your dog on how high your dog will jump,so i'd search on the web for somewhere that tells you how tall your dog is is how high your dog will jump.  Click and treat when dog jumps/walks across the bar.

4.Repeat step 3 until your dog is constantly walking/jumping across the bar.

5.Start giving jump it's name.  Click and treat when dog walks/jumps across bar when told to do so.

6.Repeat step 5 until dog knows that jump means to jump.

7.Raise the bar depending on dog height and repeat until dog is constantly jumping across bar.

8.Good job,you've taught your dog jump!
