Roseville, Rocklin, Auburn Club

[Milliesmom]

Millie is my 2 year old Choc. Lab who loves to run and jump in the water for anything. I am planning on attending the events in Auburn in June but was wondering if anybody would be interested in starting up a local club for Roseville, Rocklin and Auburn dogs. Unfortunatley I don't have a pond or a dock or know of anyone that has one, but maybe we could find a public one. Anyway let me know.

Fiona :wink:

I would love a club for our area. I too have no idea what to do or where to practice. My dog Mystic and I were there on saturday. We are the ones who just stood at the end of the dock and stared at the water! :lol:

I was there too and after that i decided i am going to start jumping my dog but i have to train her first and a club would be cool i thought about going to folsom lake on a not so busy day and using to docks to jump off but it would only be good if there are no boats around just a suggestion i actualy am 16 and live a 1/4mile from the lake

Great idea! I should have practiced first too. I am sure everyone got a good laugh from me though :lol:
I have been wondering if folsom lake has a dock. I would love to do that.
I am 34 and I am a mother of my 5 year old daughter Celine. She love this too! She can't wait to get involved. She is still a bit to young and small yet for our dogs at least.

Yes there is a dock at folsom lake its the granite bay entrance and its an actuall boat dock so it would have to be when there is no traffic but ya if there was a club i would for shure join i think it would be cool.

Hey, wasn't that a GREAT time at SplashDogs this past weekend? I was hit with some kind of virus on Sun. afternoon, so I'm only getting to the boards today.

Anyway, Millie and I had a blast and I know with pracitce she will only get better. Her best jump was 15'10". We started on Thurs. at 10' so practicing definitly does help. She was hesitating at first at the end of the dock, but the more runs she got in, the less fear she had. If we had a place to meet with a dock our dogs would all certainly improve. I just really enjoyed all the dogs and all the people I met.

We will definitly be returning.

i will be bringing my golden retriver for the first time in julyshe is 3yrs old and a great swimmer she jumps off trees and picnic tables so all she has to do is jump off the dock but then again we need a place to practice

Jumps out of trees...yikes! But that could be a new sport! Hey if next time you're out at Folsom you could ask the marina people if they would let us practice then maybe we could get something going. Tell them all about SplashDogs and maybe it would be something they would want to help us with. I know that there were a few other people at the Auburn event from Rocklin so maybe we would have enough interest to really get a club started. I have practiced with Millie up at the pond at Railhead park, but you can't beat a real dock. At the July Splash Dogs Millie will have to be a spectator because hopefully she will have a belly full of future splash dog puppies. But we'll be there to cheer everyone on.

We would absolutely love to join a club in this area!! I would be happy to volunteer helping out. We are total newbies, have attended one event in Auburn and are hooked! Please contact me if there is anything I could do to help. Thanks,

Hi Everybody,
Millie and I are going to be in Auburn at Splashdogs on Saturday. Anybody that has posted to get involved in our practice group, lets try to get together if you're going to be there. Just post and let me know and we'll make plans. I'll make a sign at our tent or something!!!!!
