The taller gate is an idea, Or add a second baby gate above the other one. I found out that the dog does have to travel through the room to get through the house. i was thinking that the best bet is to keep the dog on leash and have him down in the front of the gate for cleaning with lots of calm praise. once it's done the gate is opened you mark/release. Eventually the dog may come to understand there are treats to be had if he waits in this particular circumstance. then eventually it should become habitual and he may not need to be asked. Any Thoughts?
My dog jumped the baby gate when she was ten weeks old! I had her confined to the pantry in the kitchen as her "out in he house" place so that she could hang out with me while I did stuff in the morning. Then one morning I heard her collar jingling down the hallway. Maybe she will grow up to be an agility star!
They make extra tall gates for large breed dogs. I think there is a discount pet supply that sells them. PM me if you would like he URL.
I use baby gates all the time. My agility dog will not jump over them ever. My 9 year old GSD (who was never OB trained) jumps over them constantly.
I think the difference is my agility dog knows the wait command.I make her sit and wait at all gates, stairs and doors. Maybe he could incorporate the sit and wait command.

Thanks Lauren... I googled it and found a few really nice reasonably priced extra tall gates. I'm sure there will be a Walmart near him.
10 weeks is certainly young for a leap like that. puppies can pull off amazing feats from time to time... I'm really glad my dogs don't jump barriers and fences. There are a few in my backyard I'm sure they could clear.
