Karma, my foster dog, learned to jump into the pool today! She still seems to think that whatever Mister has retrieved is better than what she just got!
Well, Sunny is somewhat of a perfectionist and likes the balls (she prefers two and waits to jump after the second is thrown!) to be in just the right place. So when all is not as Sunny prefers (also, other dogs might be in the way, or one ball is a tad too close to the edge for the perfect jump, or God forbid, the balls are equidistant and she can't decide which one to go for first!) she hesitates. I started encouraging her and counting and realized first that she knew the word "jump" and also that she seemed to jump on three. She hesitated in this video because there were already two dogs in the pool. A bit chaotic for a dog who likes order.
I love your backyard. Wish I had a pool.
You sound so calm.
