Bounce Jumps

Bounce jumping is a good skill to teach your agility dog because it:

 a) Makes them concentrate on their stride

 

 b) Is a good conditioning plyometric exercise for their whole body

Bounce jumping is essentially jumping multiple jumps with one stride or bound in between making it look as if the dog is bouncing or hopping over each jump.  When training for bounce jumps, start out with the jumps set low and handle from both right and left sides.  Start out with a few jumps in a straight sequence and gradually add more and try diagonals and arc formations.  

Have fun!
