new place to practice!

Last week I FINALLY was able to connect with other people in the Las Vegas area that are into dock diving! They work for a popular dog training company (www.sitmeanssit.com) and are very anxious to get dock diving out here to Las Vegas!

We took the drive.. about an hour outside of town, and down a long windy dirt road to this little cove on the river. We had to walk a bit, then walk through waist high water, but the place was well worth it! It was a little edge of ledges and a large rock about 2' under water that we could walk out on.There wasn't really a dock.. but we got to work on our height.. the pop off the end.. and their sit/stays.

Tractor had a BLAST.. but he worked his little butt of and it was HOT out.. he slept the entire rest of the day - but I think he would agree that it was worth it!Our next competition is in 3 weeks in San Diego. We are doing a few big air waves and the SV competition. We also have a bunch of agility that weekend too! Should be fun!

This weekend is a NADAC trial in So Cal - we are driving down Friday afternoon and coming home Sunday. We are staying at my aunt's house, so we'll also get some pool time afterwards! I can't wait!
