This blog is about how to teach your Braque D’Auvergne to jump for agility. Often we are asked, “How many jumps should I begin with?” You can never have too many single jumps to learn agility. One suitable starting point is four jumps. This is the minimum quantity of jumps that we suggest.
Teaching Your Braque D’Auvergne to jump: Start with Four
You can teach the Braque D’Auvergne a variety of drills, skills, and exercises with four jumps. Four jumps will allow you to develop on a short jump chute or jump grid. You can position a “box” with your jumps and practice collection, handling, and 270 degree jumps. You can teach your Braque D’Auvergne jumping left and right. You can be out of the box and send your Braque D’Auvergne or you can handle from the inside of the box. Your jumps can be staged in a lateral line, so that you can practice threadles and serpentines.
