how old is she

[Catcher 1 639]

If its in a run.Put a small hurdle up every time you open the gate.Dosent take them long to learn when they want out.

She's 13 months she's been jumping 2ft out the pen but upped it to 2 ft 4 in and she will not entertain it just at a loss with what to do Atb rj

Have you tried finding an open field take one of the other dogs with you you and the other dog jump the fence as your walking away make a lot of fuss of the other dog as your walking away this usually makes her want to be with you more and works for me atb donk ps just keep walking pup should start really wanting to be with you mate

She's not carrying an injury or strain is she, my mates whippet wouldn't jump for shit but since he took him to a bone man he's jumping like a good un! Sometimes they look fully fit but can carry injuries without really showing signs.

[ruby jet 184]

I'm 99% sure she's fine but I'll get the bone man to give her the once over thanks for that never crossed my mind a frend did tell me to make sure her feet were ok and there sound atb rj

i agree with the patience way, by her age she will have the over command sussed maybe try a wee bit of variety in her jumps to help build her confidence atb

I wouldn't worry too much mate, at 13 months is still quite young. Whats her breeding/weight /height? only asking because some breeds take longer to mature physically/ mentally, might just not be ready yet

[ruby jet 184]

She's a bull whippet grey she's 54 lbs and 24 tts I'm just going to keep at it for now and see what happens just don't want to be lifting her over fences all season atb rj

Wouldn't worry mate my dog was the same he would try get away from the fence so he wouldn't have to jump so took him out with another dog and he got the idea
