This blog is concerning teaching a Beagle-Harrier jumping for agility. Often we are asked, “How many jumps is best to start with?” You can’t ever have enough solo jumps to learn agility. One suitable starting point is 4 jumps. This is the absolute minimum number of jumps suggested.
How to Teach the Beagle-Harrier jumping: Begin with Four
You can teach a Beagle-Harrier a variety of drills, skills, and exercises with 4 jumps. Four jumps will let you develop on a short jump chute or jump grid. You can position a “box” with your jumps and practice handling, collection, and 270 degree jumps. You can teach your Beagle-Harrier jumping left and right. You could be out of the box and send your Beagle-Harrier or you can handle from the inside of the box. Your jumps could be staged in a lateral row, so you can practice serpentines and threadles.
