How To Of The Day: How To Teach Your Dog To Jump Rope

Impress your friends at parties by teaching your dog to jump rope!

Step by step training using positive reinforcement training.
“Poisoning” the rope means the dog comes to associate it with bad feelings like punishment.
See our ‘Equipment for Dog Skipping‘ video.

If you cannot capture the jumping up try using nose targeting with your hand or a stick. Lifting it higher and higher until the dog has to jump for it. See my video on training a nose target.
