I am training a black lab over obstacles that seems to have a problem with the timing of when to begin his take off. He almost always leaves the ground too soon (too far from the obstacle), which sometimes causes him to crash into the obstacle. He jumps high and when he times the jump correctly, really clears the jump nicely. However he often jumps early, causing him to collide with the obstacle. This may be more of a problem that has been dealt with by obedience or agility oriented trainers. Any advice to correct this dogs poor timing when approaching obstacle jumps is greatly appreciated.
