Yesterday we took Cello and Hooch up to Canine Spa in Dillsburg, Pennsylvania for Hooch’s first-ever dock diving practice with Keystone DockDogs members.

We were not sure if he would jump in or not – we were pleasantly surprised!

First, we just tried the “Place and Send Method” from the edge of the dock to see if he would jump in for his toy.  Read more about the Place and Send technique HERE.

Once we knew Hooch would jump in, I tried the “Chase Method” next.  Read more about the Chase technique HERE.

We were so proud of Hooch, and Jenny was so happy she didn’t fall in !
