Where did I go wrong, I use to have them sit and I wait near tha barricade it about 4 feet high, three level of maybe 1 foot wide pieces with the bottom one high enough to slide under if they wanted.

At one point they would on command of "jump" they would clear barricade and go into a sit waiting for the "go play" command or whatever.

I would praise them and release them. One day the bitch decided to go under instead of over, I place the GSD male in a down or sit. And started working separately with her she has never jumped this barricade on command again, she jumps higher obstacles then this while at play inside the park.

Where did I go wrong?? She the only one that will jump back in the Jeep window, and it's higher and narrower then this jump.

Did I mess up giving her private attention?? Is she now using this jump exercises to get negative attention??? I never shout any more thanks to this board. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Any suggestion on re-training this jump.

Don, you need to go back to the basics. Start with lower jumps, on lead and go over with the dog. I personally wouldn't have a space underneath for the dog to make a choice. JMHO.

Old earth Dog you are right I probably need to start from scracht with her again by herself just me and her. This is a small 8-10 feet wide barricade fence leading into the park not something I made.

I guest I could find something to block the ground clearance, when I blocked the section I was standing behind she only went around it. This a 8-10 feet wide fence (as mentioned) Maintenance trucks uses this entrance to service the park.

So I need to build a small fence or go to agilty area and do the leash practice jump? I'll give it a try, I know she can do it. She just needs to relate the word with action again?

Where did I mess up before she was jumping clean,

What do you think happened? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

She found she could take the easy way out. Or she was pushed to jump to high, to fast. Be patient and have fun.

Ok, I'll take it slow and go back to the leash and shorter jumps. Its just that I hate back stepping but I must do whats best for the her.

She has springs and likes to jump, she just like you said found a easier way out. Here go back to jumping basic 101. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

How can I make this fun for her and for me? :rolleyes:

Started re-training the jump just like you mentioned. Just me and her in two minutes she was jumping the barrier, I had to block the lower portion of the fence area and stand behind it fence and she jumped the barrier. It took only a couple of low jump test runs. After verifying she knew the jump command, we tested the command on the prepared barrier and she jumped it.

This was just a trail and error process, I just didn't want to back track. It was an owner problem the dog will do what you let it do.


Why is that I didn't think of that? I let her take the easy way out. Mission almost accomplished now I'll test the jump without the lower blockage (its a thru-way so I can't keep it blocked).

Thanks Bob

Onwer problem again.
