This blog is concerning how to teach a German Pinscher jumping for agility. Often we are asked, “How many jumps is best to begin with?” You can’t ever have too many solo jumps to practice agility. One suitable starting place is four jumps. This is the minimum count of jumps that we suggest.
Teaching a German Pinscher to jump: Begin with Four
You can teach the German Pinscher many exercises, drills, and skills with four jumps. Four jumps will let you work on a short jump chute or jump grid. You can position a “box” with your jumps and practice collection, handling, and 270 degree jumps. You can teach your German Pinscher jumping right and left. You could be outside the box and send your German Pinscher or you can handle from within the box. Your jumps can be staged in a lateral line, so you could practice threadles and serpentines.
