I'm new here. I have an 8 month old Dutch Shepherd puppy named Madix. We've done a little dock jumping and are training for agility and flyball and I am hoping to also do rally and obedience with him. He's the smartest dog I've had and while he is a sweet, cuddly pup he is very active so we do a lot of fun games to work his mind and body.
He wasn't too terribly thrilled with it last time, but he was barely 6 months old and it was his first time jumping off any kind of dock into the water. I am bringing him to a couple more events coming up and hope to see him become more comfortable. He flew right off when I had one of my labs go after his toy in front of him lol. Now I just have to convince him he can do it on his own I've only ever seen one Dutch Shepherd at a dock jumping event. Usually several Mal's at events though.
