Cover Play Time

The pool cover is on. The dogs were madly running on it. See the video.
Am I happy with the cover... NO. I don't want to talk about it and 3 screws are not functioning properly so they need to come back and fix in a couple of weeks. It is safe just not as tight as when it will be when fixed. Dogs can still run on it and Nathan tested it by walking all over it.
The dogs are in heaven as you will see in the gallery and video. They are happy. I wish it was still warm but it is delightful to watch them playing.
Ali ran across the cover without any hesitancy. Sky looked at it as if to say - not me then watched Ella run across so she did as well. Then she was in heaven.
I also did training with Ali and Sky. The way I approach them has to be different. Sky is so treat motivated that she almost eats my hand so I close my hand till she calms down. Doing beside me she kept wriggling and wriggling with excitement. It was impossible so we will try it again tomorrow. When I was training leave it - she was amazing. Ali couldn't contain herself with leave it. Beside me was easy for Ali. But why is Sky better at leave it when she goes crazy for treats? They are different dogs but it will all come together. I will persevere. They will enjoy and figure out how they get that treat. LOL They will have fun with the training - me too!

That was such a fun video! Who is the tail grabber?
Spirit - tsk tsk and Stone - not sure I got him was yanking Spirit's pony tail. I was so miffed. He already ruined Stormy's but I thought he was over that. If he rips Spirit's ponytail, he is in the dog house for sure!! But boy they had fun!
Nice pool cover! Another season has arrived and lots of fun for the dogs. Sad to see the pool closed but happy to see happy dogs having fun!
Our pool cover went on last Monday. Laci was delighted. Tore across it barking at nothing! :-) She seems so happy that instead of running around the pool, now she can run across it.
Wonder what Ellie will think of it?
Yours looks nice, D&N.. Glad it worked out.
Nice looking pool cover, is it’s thick as your old one? I like the colour.
Is the the pup who got flattened ok, she hadn’t got up by the end of the clip....
Oh my goodness they had fun ! They seem to love the bounce.
Ok ... now who is teaching Sky to stick out her tongue and who is she sticking it out at?! LOL
The pool cover looks great and they look like they are really having fun. I would be scared to go on it but they have no fear. Good for them! So sweet.
She comes by it naturally,, I am afraid.
