Disclaimer - I have never taught a dog this trick. Here are the steps according to the woman on the tape.
1. Teach the dog to jump on command, towards a treat in your hand or with your hand as target. Fade away the handsignal.
2. Start jumping together with your dog, making your jump the signal for the dog.
3. Make sure the dog is not afraid of the rope. You should be able to gently hit the dog with the rope (in case that happens during training it will not be scared), and swish it through the air.
4. Start with the rope on the ground, jump with your dog and pull the rope under you both when you are in the air. (does that make any sense ?)
5. Swish the rope in the air, paus slightly when it hits the ground, make one jump together.
6. Practise until the motion is flowing.
7. Teach the dog to jump three - four times for one treat.
8. The last bit on the film are our mistakes during the shoot...

Wow! I wish my dog can jump rope. That's a great trick to learn even for me. I don't know how to jump rope. LOL! I just can't get the rhythm.
