: Water training starts tomorrow - wish us luck please!

Sadie starts her official water training tomorrow with our breed club. She can do most of the required skills at home (finally picked up a boat cushion and brought it to Daddy today).  No idea how she'll do in the training environment though.  This isn't like training at our obedience club! 

Water training will be our most ambitious project to date and we could use some good BPO vibes to help us get started!

I started my puppy this summer with my local Newf Club (northern Calif.  They have weekly practice and help with all aspects of passing the water dog test.  You might look for your local breed club.

Have fun and good luck!
