Here’s a second two jump exercise to test your handling and your dog’s jumping (click here for our original two jump exercise). The perpendicular jumps did result in a few more knocked bars initially as they created more sliced approaches, often with pressure. I ended up with a 9 obstacle sequence that uses only 2 jumps and about 30′ by 30′ of space.
While you could certainly handle this sequence as numbered in many ways, I constructed the following handling to test my dog’s understanding and ability to keep the bar up.
- Decel Wrap – Front Cross #2
- Backside Push (extreme slice) to Post Turn #3
- Decel Wrap – Front Cross #4
- Decel Wrap – Post Turn #5
- Backside Push #6
- Backside Push #7 to Front Cross
- Jaakko #8
Can you be more specific about the content of your article? After reading it, I still have some doubts. Hope you can help me.
I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.
Thank you very much for these exercises. They are useful for those with little space. I notice that you bend your knees a lot and some trainers do keep telling people to bend the knees. Is there an alternative for people who can’t physically do this? Some people are saying that if they bend the knees they’ll never get up again.
Thank you so much for both these two jump excersises. I have bought a second ‘proper’ jump especially and if I do nothing else over the winter I’m going to work at this!
I love your podcasts too – they have taught me SO much!
Thank you for your note! We’re glad these 2 jump exercises are working so well for those without much space! Enjoy!
