This blog is concerning teaching your Treeing Cur jumping for agility. Often we are asked, “How many jumps is best to begin with?” You can’t ever have too many single jumps to practice agility. A suitable starting place is 4 jumps. This is the fewest number of jumps recommended.
Teaching a Treeing Cur to jump: Start with Four
You can teach your Treeing Cur many exercises, drills, and skills 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 collection, handling, and 270 degree jumps. You can teach your Treeing Cur jumping left and right. You could be outside the box and send your Treeing Cur or you can handle from within the box. Your jumps could be staged in a horizontal line, so you can practice serpentines and threadles.
