This post is about how to teach the Wirehaired Vizsla jumping for agility. We are often asked, “What number of jumps should I begin with?” You can never have enough single jumps to practice agility. One suitable starting point is 4 jumps. This is the fewest number of jumps recommended.
Teaching a Wirehaired Vizsla jumping: Start with 4
You can teach your Wirehaired Vizsla a number of skills, drills, and exercises with 4 jumps. 4 jumps will allow you to work on a short jump chute or jump grid. You can setup a “box” with your jumps and work on collection, handling, and 270 degree jumps. You can teach your Wirehaired Vizsla jumping right and left. You could be out of the box and send your Wirehaired Vizsla or you can handle from within the box. Your jumps can be positioned in a lateral line, so you could practice serpentines and threadles.
