This blog is concerning teaching your Swedish Vallhund to jump for agility. We are often asked, “How many jumps is best to begin with?” You can never have too many solo jumps to teach agility. One good starting place is four jumps. This is the minimum number of jumps that we suggest.
How to Teach a Swedish Vallhund to jump: Begin with Four
You can teach your Swedish Vallhund a variety of drills, skills, and exercises with 4 jumps. Four jumps will allow you to work on a short jump chute or jump grid. You can practice on a “box” with your jumps and work on handling, collection, and 270 degree jumps. You can teach your Swedish Vallhund jumping right and left. You could be outside the box and send your Swedish Vallhund or you can handle from within the box. Your jumps can be setup in a horizontal row, so that you could practice threadles and serpentines.
