This exercise does not look to encourage your dog to jump, rather a proper and natural stride length.

  1. Set cavaletti poles at an equal appropriate distance from one another. Height and amount of poles will have been advised by your therapist.
  2. Use a treat or toy to lure your dog at a controlled trot over the poles, keeping treat low so that your dog can see the poles.
  3. Each paw should be placed appropriately between the Cavaletti poles and your dog should not skip or jump over the poles.
  4. This exercise can be performed on or off lead.
