I'll be there on Saturday! Still working on who will be joining us. Vandal and Ally may take to the dock together for their first time- but we'll see, you know those teenagers, always something different from the day before, lol

Gunn may be coming out to do some more practice jumps as he did in San Mateo.

Emmie - don't be nervous, the Splash Dog family will be there to support you completely!

Buck & I will be there Saturday for the 1 & 3pm waves and have decided to Motel 6 it that night so we can jump Sunday. You never know, Buck may decide to plop a little farther this time! I also bought myself some waterproof pants...I seem to get wetter than Buck does - of course that's because he dries himself off on me!

Looking forward to seeing you Emmie and all!

Ace and I won't be there. Baby on the way and it's likely our last weekend to get the house ready. So I'll let someone else win this time around. Good luck everyone.

Josh and Ace

Emmie,
We will see you there. Remember to show Charity the ramp a few times BEFORE going up on the dock. Seen it too many times where the dogs don't know how to get out and end up scaring themselves. Also, remember not to use the whole dock before your dog is ready. Again, we see this all the time with new comers; they sit there dog way at the back and then dog comes running down and slides to a stop at the end of the dock. Much better to build confidence by starting close and moving back slowly. The idea is to get your dog jumping with NO hesitation so start short and move back in small increments as long as Charity isn't hesitating at the end of the dock.
See everybody soon
JJ and crew

Thank You so much for the Tips!

I thought maybe using the practice Jump time to show her the ramp... Knowing her though she will have no Hesitation but you never know, Right?

I was debating on How much of the ramp to use so thank you for Clearing that Up for me.

WoooooHooooo, Who's Ready??..

My daughter Julie (age 14) and our 2 y.o. yellow lab Ginger will be jumping. We can't wait. We will be there for all 3 waves on Saturday.

Don't be nervous about it at all. It is so much fun and everyone is so helpful. What I like about it is the sense of community and family. Everybody cheers for everybody else.
