Okay mom is clearly doing something wrong with the jumping. Neither  Holly nor I will take the jump across (I know that is not the right term) her body. Where she wants us to jump and turn the opposite way from where she am standing... we just stop and stare at the bar or at her. We have been practicing the jump training at the neutral position and the recall to heel. Mom needs to put a  verbal cue of "heel" to this behavior because we have been conditioned to "come front" when she recalls us. She also lowered the jump to 16" for me and 18" for Holly until she feels like we are getting this. Holly actually took to the neutral jump training faster than me. Not that she is graceful or anything.I like to stop and start free shaping the bar sometimes. Sigh... I am so funny.
