Saphira does not like to jump from the boat, so this has been our nemesis in training for WRD this year. Not sure why I never thought of this before, but since I am also starting her training for CDX, I thought I would make it fun and start working on the jumps just prior to going to the lake. I set up the High Jump and the Bar Jump for her and we have been making a game out of her jumping over them. We do this a few times just before heading out to the lake. Today, she was spectacular!! The first time we did the Retrieve Off A Boat, she jumped right off. Then when we did the Rescue exercise, same thing, she jumped right off!! And, I notice she is keeping her head higher and not going underwater as she did before. We will keep working on this and hope for successful results at the upcoming water tests!!!
