How NOT to jump off a dock...

[Cinder & Smoke]

That happens some times, hahaha.
Especially with dogs running full speed and then slamming on the brakes right at the edge.

That "Nawww, not this time" last second balk happens with Zipp & Zopp -
aka Smokey & Cinder - but it's a bit more of a *cluster* when only ONE backs out!

Since they're connected (about 2 feet apart) with their Y-Thingy, and then
secured with a 20 foot rope lead - when one DOES and one DOESN'T follow the *JUMP* command
to launch off a dock - the results can be *messy* at best!

The one that dove in quickly stops all forward progress no matter how hard s/he tries to swim;
and the non-diver is struggling to hold onto the edge of the dock with all 4 paws.
And I'm trying to redistribute the rope and free up a hand-paw to give the reluctant one
a firm *PUSH* over the edge. I've used a FOOT more than once!

We've been know to draw a crowd at times.
