This article is about how to teach a Norrbottenspets jumping for agility. Often we are asked, “What number of jumps is best to begin with?” You can never have too many single jumps to learn agility. One suitable starting point is 4 jumps. This is the fewest number of jumps recommended.
How to Teach the Norrbottenspets jumping: Begin with 4
You can teach your Norrbottenspets a variety of exercises, drills, and skills with four jumps. 4 jumps will allow you to work on a short jump chute or jump grid. You can position a “box” with your jumps and practice handling, collection, and 270 degree jumps. You can teach your Norrbottenspets jumping right and left. You can be outside the box and send your Norrbottenspets or you can handle from within the box. Your jumps could be staged in a horizontal row, so you can practice threadles and serpentines.
