Rover demonstrating the JUMP ROPE trick.
Foreword: This is a tough trick! But it
looks cool once Rover gets it. It also is a good way to get
that extra energy a little lower!
Directions:The easiest way to start teaching this trick is
to get Rover on a box. You want it large enough for Rover to turn
around on, but not so large that Rover can walk around on it.
Hold on to Rovers collar and slowly slide a stick under Rover.
Start at Rovers forequarters and then move on to his hindquarters. The first time go really slow, so Rover does not get scared and tries to jump of the box. Let Rover step over the stick.
Only do this for about 2 minutes at a time.
After Rover gets used to stepping over the stick at a slow pace,
go a little faster. Use the command JUMP ROPE when he is jumping
over it. Now you can try him with the jump rope. Always start at
his front and pull the rope to the back. Once he is jumping over
it, you can take him down from the box and try it on the ground.
If he jumps over the rope and stays on the same spot your work is
done! If not back up a step.
Surprise your friends with teaching your dog JUMP in a different
