try-out for dock dogs for Peanut

[Peanutsmommy]

I understand a lot of you may not like dock dogs but it is one sport that combines 2 of Peanut's favorite things, swimming and fetch.

That said, Peanut was invited to tryout for dock dogs. On August 21 we will be taking him for tryouts and see how he does. I am going to take my camera and get video and pictures. If he does well and enjoys it we are thinking of letting him compete.

we just need to find a crate and a shorter then 4 foot leash for him.

wish us luck :)

i will update this after he goes with pictures and video :D

I was going to try it but my dog cut his rear leg three days before. Deep and in two places. Three weeks later he's heeled with lots of scar tissue. Maybe he we'll get another chance. Good luck.

thanks everyone! i will definately update you guys. tomorrow we are going to do some practicing at home get him used to the idea. i can't wait to see him up on the dock. if he does well we are going sign up for the local club and start him competing.

Peanut is going to have josh and me handling him and my parents are going to come so we should get a lot of video and pictures :)

He placed 4th in the Junior Division. Not bad for his first try and only doing one wave this time.
