Dryland Dock Diving

With the new tool came the desire to test it out fully, so I worked with both dogs this morning.

Kestrel and I focused on finding the best starting position for SR and EV runs, building a cue for gathering himself before taking off, small jumps, and adding speed off the start.

Aeri and I worked on stays, finding the best starting position for SR and EV runs, and drive for the bumper.

  1. Did you hear about the new dock event that they tried at the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge? It's called Fetch It -- and your videos just made me think of it. :o) I bet your dogs would rock it.

  2. I hadn't until I looked at your link! It looks interesting but I wonder if it might negatively impact the dogs' jumping - it encourages a flatter jump vs the "pop" everyone is seeking!
