This article is concerning how to teach your Spanish Mastiff jumping for agility. Often we are asked, “How many jumps is best to begin with?” You can’t ever have enough single jumps to practice agility. One good starting place is four jumps. This is the least quantity of jumps recommended.
Teaching the Spanish Mastiff to jump: Start with Four
You can teach a Spanish Mastiff a multitude of exercises, drills, and skills with 4 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 Spanish Mastiff jumping left and right. You could be out of the box and send your Spanish Mastiff or you can handle from within the box. Your jumps could be setup in a lateral row, so that you could practice serpentines and threadles.
