This article is about how to teach a Boerboel to jump for agility. Often we are asked, “What number of jumps is best to begin with?” You can never have too many single jumps to teach agility. A suitable starting point is four jumps. This is the minimum number of jumps recommended.
Teaching a Boerboel jumping: Start with 4
You can teach your Boerboel many exercises, skills, and drills with four 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 Boerboel jumping left and right. You could be outside the box and send your Boerboel or you can handle from within the box. Your jumps could be staged in a lateral line, so that you could practice threadles and serpentines.
