Jet's Furkid Palace: Jumping video!

Jumping video!

Bender is actually a top class jumper. I think he will jump full height (I think he's a 60 cm dog) already. He got a bit sloppy after a few goes and knocked the old mop down so we stopped. He was getting a bit manic. I am going to try him out with jumping. It depends how he pulls up after doing a full course. He does have issue with his wrists after an hour of chasing his ball, so I'm not sure if jumps are doable for him or not.

Barbie can jump, she just doesn't when she has to think about it. Before I put the mop up, I saw her jump down from the retaining wall, take two steps and then jump the length of a xxlarge trampoline type dog bed. We'll get there. She approaches it all with a good attitude.

hah I was hoping she would follow Bender. Bender is the competitive one though. I was surprised when he just jumped it first go like it was nothing.

All of my greyhounds love jumping and took right to it. Hopefully Miss Barbie will too. Maybe it will help her learn to jump in vehicle.

Beryl isn't an elegant jumper. It doesn't come naturally to her and she has to think about it for a second, kind of organise her legs? Now Frankie can jump a 5' fence from a standstill to get INTO someone's back yard at the park where he shouldn't be, lol! Barbie and Bender look like they're picked it up very quickly:-) Still want videos Sunday night;-)

I'm lucky Bender never used his jumping ability for mischief. I don't think it has ever occurred to him!

If Barbie has time to think, she hesitates. I've seen her jump 4' up a retaining wall, and probably 2' over that dog bed.

Bender looks like he enjoys the jumping & a good role model for Barbie! Barbie has a really cute look on her face & seems to gravitate to the treats!!

she loves her treats! ;) not sure if Barbie considers him a role model, she thinks she is the alpha. She follows him sometimes.
