Today we worked on one jump for a while to get him back going on jumping. He did very well when I sat beside the jump. When I stood up, it took him a bit longer to return to jumping with head down. I began to toss the treat down to the ground to get what I wanted. He got no treat if he knocked the bar. Bar is set at 12".
Then I added the second jump. If I toss the treat over the second jump, he will cheat and run around the jump. So I ran with him and he did very well. At first he was clingy and not sure of the game. After we did it a few times, he was all over it. I did it on both sides and he did great. Tomorrow we will add a third obstacle, thinking maybe a short tunnel. I did vary the jump from straight in line to an arch. There was enough for two strides between the jumps for him.
