In NZ they don't let any dog jump more than an inch or two until they're over the 18 month age. That's why I suggested lots of things that you need that don't involve jumping.

Great to hear you do agility.With our 2 Yorkies years ago we used to set a course up round the garden.They got use to it and we got lazy so we would tie a toy to the back of a remote control car.They would chase it and we could alter the course as we liked

Our Border Collie is hopeless at it and our other dog just sits and looks,You want me to do that!

We may have a go with Ellie in the summer.There is a class just up the road,I've never seen any small dogs there though
