How to Teach Your German Spitz to jump: Start with 4
You can teach your German Spitz many skills, drills, and exercises with four jumps. 4 jumps will let you work on a short jump chute or jump grid. You can practice on a “box” with your jumps and practice 270 degree jumps, collection, and handling. You can teach your German Spitz jumping left and right. You could be out of the box and send your German Spitz or you can handle from the inside of the box. Your jumps could be positioned in a horizontal line, so you can practice threadles and serpentines.
