Start with basic commands like 'sit' and 'stay' to establish control. Use treats to encourage your dog to jump over low obstacles. Praise and reward good attempts.
Gradually increase the height of the obstacle as your dog gains confidence. Practice regularly but keep sessions short to prevent fatigue or boredom.
Use a clicker or verbal cue to signal when it's time to jump. Be patient and provide positive reinforcement to build trust and motivation.
Avoid forcing your dog to jump or using harsh punishments. Keep training sessions fun and engaging to maintain your dog's interest.
Monitor your dog's physical condition and adjust training intensity accordingly. Celebrate progress and celebrate small victories along the way.
With patience and consistency, your dog will learn to jump on command. Enjoy the bonding experience and the sense of accomplishment together.
