More Than Just a Jump

In agility, a jump might look simple… but there’s so much more going on!

How a dog takes a jump depends on:

• The angle and speed of their approach
• the direction the jump must be taken
• where the next obstacle is placed
• the verbal cues and body language from their handler

A jump could be straight, angled, tight, extended, sliced, or part of a tricky sequence—and each one requires clear communication and training. Teaching a dog all these options takes time and teamwork.

That’s what makes agility so much fun—it’s not just about clearing the bar, it’s about how you get there!
