Portable Dog Safety Jump

Abstract

An example portable dog safety jump includes a base structure and a first upright support member and a second upright support member mounted on the base structure. An outrigger structure is provided between the first upright support member and the second upright support member. A first support arm and a second support arm is provided on the outrigger structure. At least one cross member is releasably supported between the first support arm and second support arm of the outrigger structure. If a dog attempting to jump over the outrigger structure does not clear the cross member, the cross member readily releases from the outrigger structure and falls out of the path of the jump of the dog.
