Knocking down bars

If you knock down a bar during

training. Stop what you are doing, put your dog on a sit or down-stay, pick up the bar, and replace it. Do not go on to the next jump. Stop, put your dog on a sit or down-stay, pick up the bar, and replace it. Your dog will eventually learn that dropping bars stops the fun. Sometimes a knocked bar is not the dogs fault, be sure you gave your dog enough room to lead into the jump, always be certain that your dog has enough room to clear a jump. Run clean, run happy, and always reward your dog with lots of praise.
