Good work clearing those jumps! As for Saphire, lol, just start slow. The height isn't important starting out. Place the "jump" on the ground at first and get her used to it. Have her sit on one side of it, then call her to you. Reward with a treat and a lot of enthusiasm.

Then, raise it up to 2" or 4" max. Same thing.

Hold old is she, btw? Most agility schools don't recommend starting them on agility until they're a full year old. The pounding can be tough on their developing joints.

Good luck!
