It has alot to do with physical abality and working structre which is directly contected to temperment.

Bob I like your idea of making a platform on the other dismount side so that getting hurt on the dismount is taken away.

Wouldn't a dog who jumps that be in danger of becoming a fence-jumper?

Notice that the only sport to get rid of the wall is the only one used as a breeding pre-requisite?
Funny how that works...

Thanks all for nice comments. I have been waiting a long time to get up to 2 meters...so I am very excited!!
Dawulf,
Thats a good question. I think it would depend on the dog. Luckily Cam doesnt go inside of a fence, so I dont have to worry about that. I dont think Cam would jump a fence unless I asked him to, but thats just based on my dogs temperament. On the other hand some dogs that arent trained to jump can be avid fence jumpers.

Believe me there are still people who work there dogs farther then the bounds of the trial field. Those people have no issue with a dog on a wall or pressure in the bite work.

As it should be, Bob.
Limiting a GSD to one training venue (or the bare minimum to pass in a given venue) is shortchanging the dog, in my very unqualified opinion.

Cam looks good, the dismount looked like he has pretty good technique. I would stop him from spinning around so fast though, get him landing straight.
To stabilize your palisade you can put in braces instead of cement. Something like this
The bars go down to "feet" that are attached to the uprights of the palisade, to make a triangle.
In the videos of Ulko the first one isn't at 2.3, looks more like it's around 1.9 or so. The second one also looks like it might be 2.1 or 2.2, the maximum it could be is 2.2 meters. Love the videos though, really shows the dogs technique and the impact they make with the ground on their dismount.
As far as fence jumping goes, I haven't seen any coorelation between teaching the dogs the palisade and fencing jumping. My dogs that respected a fence before I taught them the palisade still respected it afterwards. The ones who would challenge it, still usually challenged it. Actually in some case though they became less likely to challenge it, but I attribute that less to teaching them the palisade and more to just general obedience training.

Kelly! That was AWESOME! And Bob and those that agree with Bob, I agree.
This might be a stupid analogy (And I am not syaling SL are like this) I'm just making a point of conditioning and "If I'm not fast today" or "smarter today" then I go hungry.......(maybe again) But look at wild animals.........They have to be conditioned to SURVIVE, TO EAT, TO CATCH THEIR FOOD! Now take that same animal and see him/her in a zoo or enclosure. Yes, beautiful, yes, even pretty. But could he/she function or survive at where they were meant to"
Can't remember where I saw it but there was a dog, (can't remeber heigth but it was high) and this dog was on the top of a, looked like a chain link fence. But this dog was "balancing" itself without going over. And this was a tall fence!

KellyJ & Malndobe, thank you for answering my question. I'm afraid I'll always worry about fence jumpers. :)
Impressive jumps, to say the least. I saw a video the other day of a Malinois jumping into the window of one of those big cargo vans (a moving one at that) and was floored. But I guess jumps like thaat are the norm in the working community. :)
