If the dog is not interested in toys, it must first be trained to like toys. It is a good way for the owner to use more toys when playing with it. The owner straddles the crossbar and shakes the toy on the crossbar to make the dog have the urge to jump over the crossbar. If the dog jumps, reward the dog. Start training with the lowest bar height. Make sure it can be jumped and have confidence in future jumps.

If the dog does not want to jump over the bar when throwing, the owner can lead the dog and throw the toy while the owner jumps over the bar with the dog.
