That's a pretty impressive jump! Make sure you don't overdo it. In the sport of agility, they often don't let dogs jump until they're a year or more of age when their growth plates close.

With Eddie, I had him jumping all kinds of stuff when he was young. I was so proud of him. But as he got older, he stopped wanting to jump as much. I think I might have overdone it when he was under a year.

You might consider getting some doggy steps to places he likes to jump to that are especially high.
