Dock Diving... almost perfected...

[hrd2gt]

LOL! Huge improvement if anything! My old trainers built a dock on their pool (it was used for swimming dogs and stuff anyways) But what fun, a 40ft dock and all! They just opened it this weekend, so no measurements yet, but the girls finally got it down! Cant wait for the next dock diving show to go and compete with those labbies!!! lol!

Great progress! Fate seems to be a natural. What a great set up. How fun.

Wow, what a setup!!! Great area, pool AND diving deck! Wow! How nice! And boy did she do great!! That last video sounded like it does when you do a belly flop and I kinda cringed! I wondered if it hurt but she sure didn't act like it! She looks like she loves it! How lucky are you to have this. Is is close to your house?

Wow they're both doing excellent hrd! Fate is going to need a longer pool if she keeps that up.

awesome! I know of another Doberman who does dock diving...Kyra?? she has a bunch of titles. funny thing is she is related to my dogs and my dogs also love to jump off our little dock and swim and retrieve in our lake...which I know is not typical for Dobermans. I have been thinking about getting into dock diving with my dogs but I'm already busy with the other stuff Im doing with them...have you done competitions yet??

dock diving is not a high maintenance sport by any means... lol... well, i guess if your not hard core. if they happen in town maybe, if i dont have something else going on. i did one competition, its pretty laid back, basically if your dog jumps off the deck... it will get some kind of ribbon. i think if it does it 5 times... it gets a title... but different names of titles for different distances. No real compeition unless your competing with the big jumpers i guess... i am not sure if there are placement ribbons... i THINK so... but not sure. its not something i would travel really far though.

MB, this was at my old training place, so i went and spent the day with everybody, its 3 hours away. But good to visit with my old trainers

cool! I know my local kennel club that I belong to used to do but not sure if they still do...I should look into that because if it is pretty easy to do it might be another fun thing to title in without all the work of obedience and agility.
