I'd love to get him into dock jumping- he' a 7 lb yorkiepoo with the spirit of a Labrador. I'm going to work with him and follow the instructions here. One question though- what is the blue vest your dog is wearing in the pictures? Is it a life preserver?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819144988998000999.post-24496991400692650432010-08-01T23:11:56.326-04:002010-08-01T23:11:56.326-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369027761964389952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819144988998000999.post-33963659350335188572009-09-15T22:56:36.716-04:002009-09-15T22:56:36.716-04:00Some dogs just take longer.

However, there is no way I can convince her to jump in off the dock - any suggestions.dog momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023976728122783855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819144988998000999.post-64925616997079308902009-03-12T10:22:00.000-04:002009-03-12T10:22:00.000-04:00Great info.

If all the folks in dock diving are as helpful and nice as you, we are gonna have a pawsome time this weekend. You can be proud of your Mom's post, Sally! She can fill in for you whenever you need a day off. But I wouldn't probably let her fill in for your diving. Somehow I don't think she could jump better than you! (Humans can't help it they only have 2 legs)<BR/>Woofs and appreciative slobbers!<BR/>ChesterChesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05878019022884272157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819144988998000999.post-47856812362942893342009-03-11T05:06:00.000-04:002009-03-11T05:06:00.000-04:00Hi NancyIt is nice to meet you.
