    Just for fun - retrieve over the "high jump"

    There is an exercise in Obedience called the Retrieve over the High Jump which involves the dog retrieving a dumbbell over a high jump. All Obedience exercises are supposed to be based on real world behaviors that dogs could be expected to do (many are related to field and or working). Here are my three practicing their real world retrieves over the high jump, LOL.

    How cool.

    In sequence like that, they look a bit like arcade targets.

    Wow, were you just telling them to jump over that tree? Or was someone tossing something for them to retrieve while you took the shot? Either way, impressive!

    We had someone throwing things. They would jump on command if I asked, but not with as much energy and excitement as if there was a bumper waiting on the other side, LOL.
