Two Jump Drills |
|
I was working on this with my 13 month old Boxer Rudolph. He has been a little hesitant and worried about jumping in general, so we’ve been going slow. He has offered 18 inches over the weekend, and offered 20 inches as we were starting today. However, when I counted out my 10 treats, and sat down, he was hesitant to jump 20. He would run up to it, and put on the brakes. I kept moving it down, but he started trying to mob me in play, rather than looking at the jump, all the way down to 12. If I stood up, he did the jump on cue, no problem. How do I get past this? Do I just give up on this particular test for the verbal cue? Try it sitting down with the bar at 4 or something?
There are lots of ways that you can make this easier to transition from standing up to sitting down. The first thing that I would try is to sit up on your knees, which will make you a little taller than sitting on the ground. so basically kneeling, but instead of sitting your bottom on your heels, you set up tall so you’re in a straight line from your knees to your shoulders. I hope that makes sense! if even that is too difficult for your dog, you can stand but crouch. Basically, we just want to find some positions for your body that are somewhere between standing up and sitting down on the ground.
I do think lowering the jumps would help, and also starting with where the dog is successful in this case you standing up. Do several so he gets the idea, and then crouch, and do several, then kneel and do several, then sit back on your heels and do several and finally sit your bottom on the ground.
That’s the progression I would try.
That helped! I think my older dog PJ I am working with is mostly ready to advance. Will post video of Rudolph when it finishes uploading. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSxS0Z_K3xY
This is Rudolph. It was MUCH better, but he still obviously needs some practice here!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3RHwSzEbRA
I don’t think there’s any real reason to try and up the height here. What we’re working on is verbal understanding, and we can do that at a lower height and reduce the chance they knock the bar.
I would do two things. First, I would work on STANDING with the verbal “over” and also being able to ask for other behaviors. It’s the other behaviors that are tripping him up. Standing will help him be right and not mug you.
Separately, I would work on the verbal “over” with you progressing to kneeling and finally sitting, but WITHOUT adding in other commands. So it’s just building up his ability to do a jump even when you’re sitting down.
THEN you can start combining these two different challenges by sitting and occasionally asking for something other than “over”.
Also, maybe a different secondary behavior that he’s a little stronger on? Maybe a nose touch or something? It looks like his sit is a bit weak.
Yes, we have LOTS of remedial work needed. UGH 😉
I should probably mention that PJ was at his full 24 inch height with his video. Rudolph started at 18. I tried 20, but he dropped the bar, so I went back to 18.
UGH. I guess I’m destined to blow up this comment thread. I sent PJ weaving, instead of video doing this exercise. Here is what I meant to send. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4sd3rCIB0c
YAAASSS! He was definitely getting it toward the end!
