This article will introduce to you the method of "how to use crossbars to train dogs to jump":
1. Use the toys or food that the dog likes, to attract its attention and improve its driving force. This is very important for training. If a dog is not interested in toys, he should first train it to like toys. It is a good method for the owner to use more toys when playing with it.
2. The owner spans the crossbar and shakes the toy on the crossbar, causing the dog to urge to jump over the crossbar. If the dog skips, it will be rewarded. The height of the training bar should start from the lowest level. Make sure it can skip and have confidence in future jumps. The crossbar should not be too high at the beginning, and it is recommended to just 20-40cm.
3. If the dog doesn't want to jump the pole, the owner can pull the dog and throw it out the toy while the owner takes the dog to jump over the pole. Gradually let the dog jump over the bar with the toy he threw himself.
4. The reward after a dog skips is very important and must be fast. Feeling, toys, and food are all OK, which can let the dog know what the person wants it to do.
"Horizontal Bar Training" Notes:
1. When training a dog to jump high, pay special attention to the height of the crossbar and try to be as low as possible to ensure that the dog cannot drill under the rod. Because one time without experience in passing may make it remember for a long time and no longer willing to jump over the pole.
2. Some friends are worried, can the dog jump over the 30 or 40cm crossbar? In fact, as long as your dog develops normally and has no pregnancy, rheumatism, back or legs or feet, the height it jumps to is at least 1-1.5 times its shoulder height. In other words, average dogs of medium size can jump at least 1 meter high, so please rest assured. (But if your family is a puppy like Pomeranian and VIP, then forget it~)
