Teach Your Basset Fauve De Bretagne to Jump for AgilityThis article is concerning how to teach the Basset Fauve De Bretagne to jump for agility. Often we are asked, “How many jumps is best to begin with?” You can never have enough solo jumps to practice agility. One good starting point is 4 jumps. This is the minimum number of jumps that we recommend.

Teaching the Basset Fauve De Bretagne jumping: Begin with Four

You can teach a Basset Fauve De Bretagne many exercises, drills, and skills with four jumps. 4 jumps will allow you to develop on a short jump chute or jump grid. You can practice on a “box” with your jumps and practice handling, collection, and 270 degree jumps. You can teach your Basset Fauve De Bretagne jumping left and right. You could be out of the box and send your Basset Fauve De Bretagne or you can handle from the inside of the box. Your jumps could be staged in a horizontal row, so that you could practice threadles and serpentines.

Teach Your Basset Fauve De Bretagne 8 Jumps

Take the next step and practice 8 jumps. Now you can setup two boxes with one starter jump. You’ve now increased your drills that you can work on with your Basset Fauve De Bretagne. Your jump grids can be of typical size and number of jumps. You can even position the jumps in a circle with the jump bars normal to the circle or on the circumference of the circle. This pattern also enables you to work on a variety of drills.

Teaching the Basset Fauve De Bretagne Double and Triple Jumps

Your next step is a double jump and a triple jump. You could chain 2 or three single jumps together to make your expanded jump, however having double and triple jumps in your course work is extremely valuable to work on. We’ve seen many Basset Fauve De Bretagnes run a perfect course and the final obstacle is a triple and the Basset Fauve De Bretagne is not equipped for it, and bang, down goes the bar.
