This blog is about how to teach the Cordoba Fighting Dog jumping for agility. Often we are asked, “What number of jumps should I begin with?” You can’t ever have too many solo jumps to practice agility. A good starting place is four jumps. This is the absolute least number of jumps recommended.
How to Teach the Cordoba Fighting Dog jumping: Begin with Four
You can teach the Cordoba Fighting Dog a number of exercises, drills, and skills with four jumps. 4 jumps will allow you to 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 Cordoba Fighting Dog jumping left and right. You could be outside the box and send your Cordoba Fighting Dog or you can handle from the inside of the box. Your jumps could be positioned in a horizontal line, so you can practice threadles and serpentines.
Teach Your Cordoba Fighting Dog Eight Jumps
Go to the next logical step and practice eight jumps. Now you can setup 2 boxes with one introductory jump. You’ve now multiplied the number of exercises that you can work on with your Cordoba Fighting Dog. Your jump grids can be of suggested size and quantity of jumps. You can also position your jumps in a circle with the jump bars normal to the circle or on the circumference of the circle. This setup also allows you to develop a variety of skills.
Teaching the Cordoba Fighting Dog Double and Triple Jumps
The next level is a double jump and a triple jump. You can position 2 or three single jumps together to make your expanded jump, but having double and triple jumps in your course work is extremely helpful to practice. We’ve seen many Cordoba Fighting Dogs run a perfect course and the final obstacle is a triple and the Cordoba Fighting Dog is not equipped to do it, and bang, down goes the bar.
