I have been trying this one off and on for a few weeks with no progress. I stand holding the hoop on the ground and lure Brody through it. He will follow the lure fairly well, but as soon as I drop the lure, he just bites the hoop. I probably need to do more work on "leave it", but this seems to be his default behavior any time I present a prop. Either biting or pawing. I don't want to say "leave it" because I am trying to shape interaction with the prop. I have not taught a general "jump" yet, and would like to teach him to jump over my leg as well. He does do "over" for low walls and benches when we are on walks.
