One of the best parts about becoming a North Star family is getting the opportunity to meet new people and experience things we never imagined. Thanks to our brilliant trainer (her name is Wendy Krehbiel and she runs the dog training business known as Tell-a-Tail ... more about her in another post) we were introduced to the sport of dock jumping up in Pittsburg, California. If you want to see instinctive dog behavior unleashed, check out dock jumping. Some of these pups were amazing - soaring off the dock like flying squirrels and then happily belly flopping into the bay. It was quite a sight. Check out some of these flying fidos:
This little shepherd dog was absolutely possessed! Check out this shot of him going after his bait:
We all enjoyed it - Wendy even offered to take Charlie out for a dip but I think he preferred to hang out on the dock with Tim and Andy.
Of course, Charlie was not the only reluctant jumper. Check out this guy who desperately wanted that toy but just couldn't get his head around taking the plunge:
The fabulous Wendy was actually the emcee of the entire event and she made a point to make sure that we all enjoyed ourselves. She even debuted Charlie to the crowd explaining that he was a service dog in training. (I get the sense that Charlie and Wendy are bonding ... she just has better cookies than I do!)
Most importantly, Tim really seemed to enjoy watching the dogs leap into the bay. Although we weren't able to stay to see the finals, we did manage to see two of Wendy's own dogs take the plunge. Check out Renegade hurling himself off the dock:
It was a really fun family outing and I'm sure we'll go again. For more information, check out Splash Dogs.
