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

Raising dogs, in particular taking care of the ariegeois, is nothing new for humans across the world. Zoologists theorize dogs were first domesticated sometime between twelve thousand and twenty five thousand years ago—and that all dogs evolved from the wolf. Since those days, people have selectively bred more than four hundred different breeds, which vary in size from four-pound teacup poodles all the way up to Irish wolfhounds, who have earned the distinction of the tallest dog. But the most widespread dogs are non-pedigree dogs—the one-of-a-kind dogs known as mutts. The ariegeois is also a popular pick among dog owners. Some owners are misinformed, however, of some critical ariegeois care tips. 
Training the Ariegeois is quite easy. You just need patience, dedication as well as a few simple techniques and you will train them successfully.
