This article is concerning how to teach a Bucovina Shepherd Dog to jump for agility. Often we are asked, “How many jumps is best to begin with?” You can’t ever have too many solo jumps to teach agility. One good starting point is 4 jumps. This is the absolute minimum number of jumps that we recommend.
Teaching a Bucovina Shepherd Dog jumping: Start with 4
You can teach your Bucovina Shepherd Dog many exercises, drills, and skills with four jumps. 4 jumps will let you develop on a short jump chute or jump grid. You can practice on a “box” with your jumps and work on collection, handling, and 270 degree jumps. You can teach your Bucovina Shepherd Dog jumping left and right. You can be out of the box and send your Bucovina Shepherd Dog or you can handle from the inside of the box. Your jumps can be staged in a horizontal line, so you can practice threadles and serpentines.
