Herbert Lowry Webboard User Reg: 02-07-2011 Posts: 1 Loc: Offline	I have a schII female that does not want to jump the hurdle. She looses major points here. Now: she hit the jump at our club really hard and hurt herself and I understand this is the reason she is fearful of the jump despite the fact she is more than able to jump. Question is how do we overcome this?

With that said, if my dog was afraid of a hurdle I'd start over with tiny, tiny "jumps" maybe starting with a 2x4 on the ground and have her step over that. Mark, reward. (Are you familiar with marker training?) Do that for a day or two then raise it 4" or so. Etc... See where I'm heading? Get her comfortable stepping over low, low items and having fun doing so, then begin to add height little by little, but don't make it look like the traditional hurdle at first. High value treats or toys - what ever turns her on. Have you discussed this with your TD? Did you train her to the SchII or purchase her at this stage?

Maybe Dennis will let me train his new little shark...
