jumping

[Rabbithunter 456]

just had Skye, jumping 31". which is quite good.

 

At 5 months old, does anybody think this is too high for her to be jumping?

sorry to jump your topic, but will my little 19" dog be able to jump a standard gate and how do i get her to do it? she compleatly refuses to jump over stuff she can jump onto some quite hight things tho.

i'd say now shes doing it keep it to a minimum!! she knows she can do it and you don't want to wreck her joints or put her off!! just do enough to keep it fresh, it'll come back good when shes a year or so and her joints are hardening up

dickyboy..... i wasnt going to do it every day. Just maybe three jumps once a week. Just to keep her doing it

 

blando. i have seen a 20" beddy/whippet clear gates no bother.

Start off small. put a board up against the kennel door so she has to jump to get out, start small and increase

i took it steady with my dog and when he was jumping small obsticles i raised them a little bit at a time he jumps any thing now

If they can jump, don't bother making them. Mine'll jump the rhines down here for the fun of it, it makes me cringe.

Had a 20" lurcher that jumped 6 foot panels in her quest for cats .Nothing worse than a whining dog at a gate when your lamping though .Every effort to be made into getting a pup to jump .

Blando -From what I saw of your little dog ,you are underestimating her .Ring me and well get out sometime .

Ive always been told to lift dogs over,gates/fences etc when out lamping for obvious reasons.

what about when you have a battery slung over the shoulder, a heap of rabbits. you gotta put all that down and life the dog, i think not.

 

By the time you have dropped the stuff, the dog will be fed up and just jump it anyway, bloody typical.

i had a 3/4whippet 1/4 greyhound 19inch to shoulder she would clear gates no probs

My whippet cross bitch is 19" she can jump but doesn't bother much as she fits under everything don't understand why these 19" and 20" dogs are putting the effort into jumping when they could prob fit under or through most places just a thought

Either do all that, or risk having the dog injuring itself, would you like to jump over barb wire using minimal light? I think not.

Is it possible to train lurchers to jump on command? I don't know how readily they can be trained? but surely a stop or hold command until you get to the gate/fence then 'over' would lower the risks? I've done it with both the spanial and bully as niether has any finesse when clearing fences and it made me cringe to see how close they get to barbed wire unless I'm pulling it down a bit!
