This article is concerning teaching the Pumi jumping for agility. Often we are asked, “What number of jumps is best to begin with?” You can never have enough solo jumps to learn agility. One good starting point is four jumps. This is the least quantity of jumps that we suggest.
Teaching Your Pumi to jump: Start with Four
You can teach your Pumi many exercises, drills, and skills with 4 jumps. Four jumps will allow you to 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 Pumi jumping left and right. You could be out of the box and send your Pumi or you can handle from the inside of the box. Your jumps can be setup in a horizontal row, so you can practice serpentines and threadles.
