Moose's first "dock diving" practice - Labrador Retriever Dogs Chat Forum Board - Dogs, Puppies, Photos, Training, Pictures, Rescue Forums

This was Moose's first time in a swimming pool. I new he wouldn't be afraid b/c I've taken him swimming at a lake before. Before I even put the wooba in the water to see if he would get in, he just fell in the pool. I was scared that he would be afraid after that, but NO WAY, not my Moose! The first couple of times when I laid the wooba in the water in front of him, he would lean over the edge and fall in, then his back legs would scrape, but he finally started to jump! Please critique! I would love to get him involved in something physical like this!

We would love to have you and Moose join us. Our club, Dixie Dock Dogs, is quite active in Georgia. Check out our website and let me know if you'd like to give it a try. We've had one event here already and have another one scheduled for the Spring 2010 and a couple of more almost ready to schedule.

He looks like he has the hang of it.... Hard to critique this as he is not on a dock ... Cant say if he is getting up/pop or stutter steps etc......

I am so jealous that your pool is still open.... ok well mine is too, but should have been closed this past weekend but I went to an event instead....

Thanks for the compliments! That is my fiance's mom's pool and she is having it closed on Friday, so I knew I had to let him try it out fast.
