How to teach my Dog in Parkour
Before we start, I would like to talk a little bit about why I did struggle to do this video
I struggled, because I am scared that people will not really judge situations right and therefore maybe over- or underwork their dogs.
Because they dont have any experience in Parkour themself, like with every other sport.
If you make your dog doing any sport or you make them to go for a challenge,
you should at least try do it yourself or be able to do it yourself, so you understand what it means.
If he is standing in 2 m height, I need to understand how it feels
and I need to understand as well that 2 meters are way higher for him then for me.
 
You also need to think about consequences.
What will happen, if he is injuring himself, can you pay the costs?
And the more important question is: Can you deal with it yourself?
Can you live with that you are responsible when your dog is hurting himself?
Or can you distance yourself and say that your dog is doing most of the things by himself?
To be fair, Ninja is doing most of the jumps by himself when he sees the kids, which we are coaching, are doing some jumps. And if he is motivated to do it.
So yeah think about that and enjoy todays little tutorial which will be one of many more!
Okay, for the warm up we will play some frisbee.
My goal in teaching him is that he doesnt ffel like he is doing something big / special.
I want that Parkour is the most normal thing to him.
Like that he jumps on things and it is nothing special.
So you have to act like its nothing special.
So we will play and have a walk through the park to do small challenges
or we will pick one challenge where we will show you how to start with it.
"Leg dein Kopf ab"
"lay down your had" was that.
Sit down! Lay down! Role over! Drive in! Twist! Drive in! Stay!
Pika! Forward! Lay down! Come here! Left paw! Other paw! Lay on your back! Catch!
Drop it! Stand up! Heel! Sit down! Lay down! Put down your head! Stay! Stay!
Come here, go Ninji! ...3 ...2 ...Pika!
Again!
Pika, stay!
Again!
Pika, stay, lay down!
Ok!
So we found those 3 bars, you may saw them in a video before.
He can jump all three of them but we use this to show you how to warm him up.
He offered the secnd one already, so I will take it of course and I will not make it to anything special.
We will just do this a coulpe of times
and throw a frisbee inbetween so we play him warm.
Normally, the last one alsways is a challenge.
There is someone stretching herself anyway, we have a little bit more time to make him warm
and after Ninja did the first 2, he will just smash the third one.
Because I know that he is warmer, he is used to the movement,
he knows how to jump and how it feels.
So we go with his feeling.
So I just made hi do something different
so he kows that he has to focus and not just do random stuff to get that frisbee.
 
 
 
Ok I think he is warm, he is ready. We will throw one more time the frisbee, let him bring it.
And then we will try if he does all 3. He didn´t want to do the first one when I wanted him to, he was scared
So yeah, we will see. We did maybe like 7 or 8 trys now. Ninja come here.
Come continue, sit down, lay down, stay!
I let him stay, made him prepare and show him what to do.
With my hands, cause he is always focusing on my fingers
At the beginning I just did it out of fun but it runed out that he learned what I mean.
And now we will see.
Ninja focus and 1 aaaaaand 2 aaaaaaaand 3
He new but he was too scared. 
And back to the beginning
Let him get his frisbee anyway but I will do it, not him.
Start from the beginning.
So the first ones again.
So after we did the small ones again, I will just focus on the big one for the first time
I will give him the time just to concentrate on the big one
So he can unlock it and do it in his run
Very good. That worked faster then I have expected, I thought maybe we have to do the small one couple of times more.
