This post is about teaching the Phalene to jump for agility. Often we are asked, “How many jumps should I begin with?” You can never have enough solo jumps to teach agility. One suitable starting point is four jumps. This is the absolute minimum quantity of jumps that we recommend.
Teaching the Phalene to jump: Start with 4
You can teach your Phalene a number of drills, skills, and exercises with 4 jumps. 4 jumps will let you work on a short jump chute or jump grid. You can position a “box” with your jumps and work on collection, handling, and 270 degree jumps. You can teach your Phalene jumping right and left. You could be out of the box and send your Phalene or you can handle from the inside of the box. Your jumps can be positioned in a horizontal row, so you can practice threadles and serpentines.

Raising dogs, in particular taking care of the phalene, is a specialty of people across the globe. Historians say dogs were domesticated sometime between twelve thousand and twenty five thousand years ago—and that canines evolved from wolves. Since those days, people have selectively bred more than four hundred different breeds, ranging in size from four-pound teacup poodles all the way up to Irish wolfhounds, who have earned the title of tallest canine. But the most preferred dogs are non-pedigree dogs—the one-of-a-kind dogs known as mutts. The phalene is also a popular choice among dog owners. Many owners are misinformed, however, of some important phalene care tips.
