This article is about teaching the Tornjak jumping for agility. Often we are asked, “What number of jumps should I start with?” You can’t ever have too many single jumps to practice agility. One good starting place is 4 jumps. This is the minimum count of jumps suggested.
How to Teach a Tornjak to jump: Begin with 4
You can teach your Tornjak many exercises, drills, and skills with 4 jumps. Four jumps will allow you to work on a short jump chute or jump grid. You can position a “box” with your jumps and work on handling, collection, and 270 degree jumps. You can teach your Tornjak jumping left and right. You can be outside the box and send your Tornjak or you can handle from the inside of the box. Your jumps could be staged in a lateral row, so that you can practice serpentines and threadles.
