This blog is about teaching a American Pit Bull Terrier to jump 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. A suitable starting place is 4 jumps. This is the minimum quantity of jumps suggested.
Teaching a American Pit Bull Terrier jumping: Start with Four
You can teach a American Pit Bull Terrier a plethora of exercises, skills, and drills with 4 jumps. 4 jumps will let you develop on a short jump chute or jump grid. You can position a “box” with your jumps and work on 270 degree jumps, collection, and handling. You can teach your American Pit Bull Terrier jumping right and left. You could be outside the box and send your American Pit Bull Terrier or you can handle from the inside of the box. Your jumps could be setup in a horizontal line, so you can practice serpentines and threadles.
