Advanced Tricks: Training Your Dog To “Retrieve Over High Jump”
Advanced Tricks: Training Your Dog To “Retrieve Over High Jump”
Should your dog be only so-so in any elements of basic obstacle or retrieving training, shore up weak areas prior to initiating the “Retrieve Over High Jump.” Otherwise, the animal may extend previous problem behaviors into the new activity.
When starting the Retrieve Over High Jump, begin that day’s session with a Retrieve followed by a recall over the jump. If your dog doesn’t perform each exercise well, work on problem areas until you’re satisfied. Initiate formal High Jump retrieving by having your dog Sit in front of and facing the jump from a distance of ten feet. Set the height even with the animal’s elbows. Have him take and hold a dumbbell.
Command, “Stay,” verbally and via the hand signal. Walk to the jump’s opposite side, preferably by stepping over it (to suggest the correct route). Position yourself within touching distance of the obstacle. As one flowing action, slap the top board’s edge, command, “Bring - Hup!,” and back away to create landing room. Repeat the sequence three times, and end today’s training.
The next day, with pooch at heel, throw a light dumbbell over the jump, sending him as it lands by sequentially commanding “Hup,” “Bring” and “Hup.” The first “Hup” sends the animal, and “Bring” should be timed while he’s airborne, going for the object. Command the second “Hup” immediately after the dog picks up the dumbbell. Now the task becomes phasing out the commands used only for teaching, waiting several seconds before sending the dog after the dumbbell, and gradually raising the jump to the desired height.
