This blog is about teaching a Cao Fila De Sao Miguel to jump for agility. We are often asked, “What number of jumps is best to begin with?” You can never have too many single jumps to learn agility. A suitable starting place is 4 jumps. This is the least count of jumps suggested.
Teaching the Cao Fila De Sao Miguel to jump: Start with 4
You can teach your Cao Fila De Sao Miguel a plethora of drills, skills, and exercises 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 work on handling, collection, and 270 degree jumps. You can teach your Cao Fila De Sao Miguel jumping right and left. You can be outside the box and send your Cao Fila De Sao Miguel or you can handle from the inside of the box. Your jumps can be setup in a lateral line, so that you could practice threadles and serpentines.
Teach a Cao Fila De Sao Miguel Eight Jumps
Go to the next step and work on eight jumps. Now you can setup 2 boxes with 1 introductory jump. You’ve now increased your exercises that you can work on with your Cao Fila De Sao Miguel. Your jump grids can be of typical size and quantity of jumps. You can also setup your jumps in a circle with the jump bars perpendicular to the circle or on the circumference of the circle. This pattern also enables you to train a variety of drills.
Teach Your Cao Fila De Sao Miguel Double and Triple Jumps
The next consideration is a double jump and a triple jump. You can set two or three single jumps together to make your expanded jump, but having double and triple jumps in your course work is especially valuable to work on. We’ve seen many Cao Fila De Sao Miguels run a perfect course and the final obstacle is a triple and the Cao Fila De Sao Miguel is not prepared for it, and bang, down comes the bar.
