This is the easiest of all obstacles to train. You just put your dog on leash and lead them over, then reward. A piece of cake!

Here are tips from Tess & Kipp:

  • Start low, so your dog does not cheat and go under it.
  • Use a variety of things as jumps, so that nothing will be a surprise at a match or trial.
  • No jumping for dogs under 1 year. For puppies, put the bar on the ground and have them run over it.
  • Use a variety of rewards: Treats, a game of tug, throwing a toy for a quick fetch, etc.
