Just curious if anyone is into the dock dog scene? Id really love to get my boy into it. So far I have his sit and stay to a science while I walk to the spot he would jump from. I also have him running from his spot and jumping at the line to catch his ball. Only problem is that jumping into water is his kryptonite. He will run a few feet into water from the shore of a river/lake but hates deep water. I havnt yet been able to get hold of any sort of dock to actually try to get him to jump off of either lol. I've been to some dock dog events and it seems as though labs pretty much own the sport but blitz can jump 6 to 7 feet straight up from a seated position (he has jumped over the 6ft tall kennel in the past to get out because he felt play time wasn't as over as I had thought). So I figure with a running start he might have decent potential. Any blue heeler dock dogs out there?
