This article is about teaching the Epagneul Bleu De Picardie jumping for agility. Often we are asked, “What number of jumps should I start with?” You can never have too many solo jumps to practice agility. One suitable starting place is 4 jumps. This is the minimum quantity of jumps suggested.
Teaching Your Epagneul Bleu De Picardie jumping: Start with Four
You can teach the Epagneul Bleu De Picardie a multitude of exercises, drills, and skills with 4 jumps. 4 jumps will let you develop on a short jump chute or jump grid. You can setup a “box” with your jumps and practice 270 degree jumps, collection, and handling. You can teach your Epagneul Bleu De Picardie jumping left and right. You could be out of the box and send your Epagneul Bleu De Picardie or you can handle from the inside of the box. Your jumps could be setup in a horizontal line, so that you can practice threadles and serpentines.
Teach the Epagneul Bleu De Picardie Eight Jumps
Take the next logical step and get 8 jumps. Now you can position two boxes with 1 starter jump. Now you’ve increased the number of drills that you can try with your Epagneul Bleu De Picardie. Your jump grids can be of suggested size and quantity of jumps. You can even position the jumps in a circle with the jump bars perpendicular to the circle or on the circumference of the circle. This setup also allows you to develop a variety of skills.
Teaching a Epagneul Bleu De Picardie Double and Triple Jumps
Your next level is a double jump and a triple jump. You could set 2 or 3 solo jumps together to make your expanded jump, but having double and triple jumps in your course work is really valuable to work on. We’ve seen several Epagneul Bleu De Picardies run a flawless course and the final obstacle is a triple and the Epagneul Bleu De Picardie is not prepared to do it, and bang, down goes the bar.
