Something fun for the summer!

If you want to keep your dog cool in the summer and have family fun in the process...try dock diving.  This is a great way to keep dogs cool when the summer heats up.  Dock diving is fun for the dog because the dog can skinny dip and fetch their favorite toy at the same time.  This is a fast paced and gravity defying competition.  The dogs compete for speed and distance jumping into a 40' long pool while getting there toy from the water.  The dogs love the action and the family will love it to.  At Paw Law in Hanover park IL is specialized in agility training and dock diving.  She told me that her dog could jump 21+ feet in competition, I found this amazing because my family room is 24' long!  I believe her about her dog because on one wall that is about 35' long and 18' high at the training center their are competition ribbons all over the wall, congrats to her!  At the events any size mix or purebred dog may compete and have to be at least 6 months old.  If you think that you would like to give this a try you can visit these sights:  www.dockdogs.com or www.pawlaw.com and www.splashdogs.com and go have some fun!!    Please note that dogs need training for this sport because there are procedures and rules to follow.  Remember this is for fun for you and your family.
