First your dog must be able to stay and then come over the jump to you if you want to take a head on picture. If you want to get a side shot, she has to be able to go over while you stand still on the side of the jump. Or, you have to get somebody else to take the picture.

Okay, first of all you have to figure out your cameras timing and how long it takes your dog to jump after you give the command to go.

What I mean by this is, well, my digital camera takes a full 2 seconds (which is a real long time when you're trying to take a snapshot) from the time you push the button to the time the picture actually takes. If you start taking the picture when the dog is in the air she'll be long gone in 2 seconds when the picture finally takes. So you have to figure out when to push the button.

The best way to do this is experiment!

To be sure that you get a good one, take a lot of pictures Sometimes when I'm taking jump pictures I'll take 20 pictures and only get 1 or 2 good ones.

Good luck with your picture taking!
