It's amazing how far ahead the states are. It's not a very new sport (it's even on ESPN! :shock: ) & we haven't even tried it here. Sigh.
There was a show on Star World...Beast Vs Man or something like that. They had a national dock diving competitor go up against an olympic jumper. Pretty interesting :D Unfortunately can't remember who won. :oops:
Fawn,
Mayb we can go to some beach at night.set up our own lights. Pray the current isn't to strong for the little ones :lol: And splash away. |

Yar man. In d US, it’s a case of so many dog sports, so little time…whereas here its exactly d opposite, so little sports, too much time 4 OB :roll: . Dey even hv K9 dessage…based on d Olympic equestrian event. Think deir goal is trying 2 include dogs in d Olympics, much like horses at present.
Interesting show dat Man vs Beast. Saw an oran utan in a tug-o-war with a Sumo wrestler, n d wrestler fell into d mud patch. Didn’t catch d dock diving competition…human long jump world record is bout 29’ whereas d last time I saw ESPN, d K9 dock diving record was bout 25’. Put in d wooden n slippery dock n it’ll b a close call. :?
Dock diving in Msia…hope v live long enuf 2 c day animals_006.gif .

found this on spotmutt website :
Quote: Start by playing with his/her favorite toy on dry land. Get him/her to chase it while still in your hand. Slowly begin holding the toy higher in the air continuing to have him/her chase it. Raise the toy high enough so he/she has to jump for it. Praise him/her when he/she jumps for it.
Now take it to the shoreline. Do exactly what you did on dry land only this time make sure he's/she’s playing in the water just deep enough to make some splash. Make sure to make plenty of splashes. Praise him/her when he/she jumps for it.
Now sit and make him/her stay a small distance from the shore on dry land. Stand a couple of inches in the water. Hold the toy high enough out in front of you so he/she has to jump to get it out of your hand. Release him/her. Because you are in the water, he/she will land in the water. Praise him/her. Your dog is now jumping in to the water. It’s just a matter of progression from there. Set him/her a little farther back and hold the toy a little higher. Once you feel confident with this practice, It’s time to bring him/her to the dock.
The key to getting your dog to jump off the dock is to start short and end long. Position him/her at the very end of the dock where he/she will jump and work back to the ultimate starting position. Start by tossing the toy close to the dock. If you toss the toy too long, the dog won’t jump thinking he/she can get the toy. If he/she sees the toy close to the dock, he’ll/she’ll think he/she can get it and will have a better chance of jumping.
Once you’ve positioned him/her at the end of the dock where he/she will jump off, toss the toy about 5 feet from the end of the dock and release him/her. If he/she doesn’t jump, go back to the shore exercise. If he/she jumps you’ve done it. Congratulations. Now it’s just a matter of repetition. Toss the toy a little further and have him/her start a little further back each time.
Always keep an eye on his/her take off position on the dock. You want him/her jumping as close to the end as possible. If he/she starts to jump early, move his/her start position closer to the take off and start working him/her back again.
oh my god.. can a stone float ? :lol: |
