    Dock diving second try, wish us luck

    Sam got to try out dock diving several weeks ago and while he did eventually jump in, it took a LOT of encouragement. He's getting his second exposure tomorrow at a dock diving practice so wish him luck and encouragement so that, maybe, he'll gain some confidence. You've never seen a dog grip the edge of a dock so strongly barking at a ball!

    Have fun and good luck! Will he go in from a shore, as at a lake or pond?

    No, he runs into ponds to retrieve with no issue. He'll be jumping off a dock to retrieve. It's the leaping off a dock that he's not so sure about. I'm taking several balls, his strongest retrieve drive is for balls.

    I am hoping someone will take photos since I can't when I'm working with him on the dock.

    So much fun! I want to try it with my yellow. We will be practicing at my MIL ranch in Nevada this summer. I can't wait to see some photos.
