That is so cool! I still am working on jumping... Zuki always looks at me like I am nuts and thinks it is a better idea to go under or around
I taught Nico to jump by using those big cardboard toy bricks in my hallway. That way they couldn't go under or around, I started with one layer and built up. Once she new the "over" command I could translate it to more difficult objects.

BING!!! My new behavior may have just been born...
ETA - BEAUTIFUL job on this video btw... That dog obviously loves to jump!
Long and low is a good way to start a dog jumping. Long meaning from side to side as the dog is facing it, so to go around they have to really go out of their way, and low so they realize the easiest way to you is to just hop over. Not to mention it makes it easier for you to hop over with them. Then build height. And make it solid, like someone else mentioned, so going under isn't an option. If you don't have jumps, take some chairs and set a PVC pipe between them, then drape a blanket, tarp, etc over the pipe. Easy to raise and lower as needed, just by moving where it sits on the chairs (bottom rung, seat, arm rest, etc) Once they really understand what 'jump' means, you can have them jumping narrow and tall things like a chair, instead of going around.
