My girl is a cross and she can't seem to bark. When she tries all I hear is a drawn out "roo-roo-roo-roo-roo!" Or a single whispering "broof"

Hello

My son has recently taken a keen interest in trying to train our basenji mix to go over jumps. She is 1 years and 6 months and listens to me more than him. We have been working with treats a little but mostly with her favorite toy.

Are there any tips to help keep training fun for her and him?
I am trying to keep his expectations realistic. She will jump but is stubborn like her name sake (Isa). If there is a way around she will take that route.

Thank you for your time

thank you. We love her to bits. I die every time she does the side head cock.
She lives up to her name though. Very willful and stubborn. She is my 10 year old son's best buddy though.

Still learning how to upload things here, sorry

This is what he started with. I moved them outside so he can teach her not to go around the jumps.

Son training basenji mix to jump

Thank you so much for the link to this book. Our Isa definitely fits the 'bolter' type. She LOVES to run, chase, and jump after her toys.
My son takes her on a mile bike run twice a day and she still has energy to spare

I think this book will help us with the training woes. Thank you
