Hi all,
We are having a membership meeting in March. We could discuss details on organizing a workshop. In the water vs dry land. Or we could set up workshops to do both. Things to think about .
I know I have been asked several times lately about NorthStar hosting a trial. Not only is finding a location that will allow dogs a difficult task, it requires a lot of volunteers.
Monte is now to old for me to train with, but I would love to help in workshops and, if we get to that point, help with a trial.

Hi Mary Jeanne
I remember you and Henry!! Well, Opus is not swimming on his own yet. He is very, very interested in water and goes in right away but not swimming independently without me having him circle around and them back to touch his feet. I bought him a life jacket too and hope to spend some time at the pool here over the winter to see if he can swim there.

Sue, I was also at those trainings with Ann Dunnigan, Ann and Andre LaPeyere, and the workshops held at Rhonda and Gary Kern's years ago with my Newfy, Henry. Those were all so helpful. Also, the Lovetts from Michigan put on some fantastic workshops. About 2 years ago, Ann Dunnigan and the LaPeyeres did a dry land water workshop at the Owatonna location.
I hope Gracie and I can join you at some point. But first....
Gracie, my Newfy, and I will be working on her confidence of letting herself float in the water. We drove to Kenosha, Wisconsin last summer for a water workshop and the year before took Gracie in at a friend's home. No go. She does have a doggy water vest too.
We will be working on this in hopes that Gracie can try another workshop. I have a friend who is going to assist me, so fingers crossed.

My oldest daughter is now 17 and she was a toddler when we earned those titles, so I’m a little out of practice! At that time we trained with Ann and Andre LaPeyere and Ann Dunnigan and trained in a lake in Rochester and then also with Rhonda Kern in Ham Lake. Rhonda and her husband Gary generously trained with us at their home in Ham Lake and then the newf club had water trials at their home as well.
I’m knowledgeable enough to teach exercises from those first two levels and to teach retrieving to people. I’m sure that test regulations must have changed somewhat over the years and I need to get up to speed. And now as of last summer, I have a rowboat with a platform for water work that I purchased from my friend in the Portuguese Water Dog club!
My suggestion is to have the newf club ask Ann, Andre and Ann if they would be willing to put on another workshop early in the season. Finding a lake to train in is difficult in the city, most will not allow dogs. It’s one thing to swim your dog discreetly on the side where you hope no one cares. It’s another thing entirely to launch a rowboat, canoe and multiple drowning volunteers without getting a permit of some kind. It takes village to do this type of training. Opus and I are ready to jump in if others can lend their help as well!

I am interested in this as well! It’s been a dream of mine to do water work.
My day job is a lifeguard instructor and swim instructor, so it goes hand in hand.

Hi all-
I'm looking for some input on trainers teaching water work in or near the MN metro. The facility I work with in Mendota Heights has in indoor pool (The Dog Tank) and some of our dock diving students have inquired. Frankly I'd be interested in getting Gracie involved too.
Any suggestions?

Sue,
I was at a water trial at the kerns maybe 15 years ago. I saw a new title
earned by a girl named Ruby. She wasn't a big girl, but she worked hard
and did such a good job. I remember wondering if she was young when the
judge announced the title and said she was 9! I was so impressed
(obviously since I still remember it). Was that you?
I have two senior dogs now and one girl who's four. I'd love to join the
water fun with her.

Hi all
I will join this threAd and will impart what knowledge I have. Currently
we have Opus, who is 11 months old. I LOVE doing water work! In the past I
trained RUBY, our 2 nd newf in water work. She earned the first 2 titles at
that time, I believe around 2004 or so. At that point they were just
developing the WRDX, the 3rd title. Ruby was too old at that point to
compete at that level. My oldest daughter is now 17 and she was a toddler
when we earned those titles, so I’m a little out of practice! At that time
we trained with Ann and Andre LaPeyere and Ann Dunnigan and trained in a
lake in Rochester and then also with Rhonda Kern in Ham Lake. Rhonda and
her husband Gary generously trained with us at their home in Ham Lake and
then the newf club had water trials at their home as well.
I’m knowledgeable enough to teach exercises from those first two levels
and to teach retrieving to people. I’m sure that test regulations must have
changed somewhat over the years and I need to get up to speed. And now as
of last summer, I have a rowboat with a platform for water work that I
purchased from my friend in the Portuguese Water Dog club!
My suggestion is to have the newf club ask Ann, Andre and Ann if they
would be willing to put on another workshop early in the season. Finding a
lake to train in is difficult in the city, most will not allow dogs. It’s
one thing to swim your dog discreetly on the side where you hope no one
cares. It’s another thing entirely to launch a rowboat, canoe and multiple
drowning volunteers without getting a permit of some kind. It takes village
to do this type of training. Opus and I are ready to jump in if others can
lend their help as well!

Hi all-
I'm looking for some input on trainers teaching water work in or near
the MN metro. The facility I work with in Mendota Heights has in indoor
pool (The Dog Tank) and some of our dock diving students have inquired.
Frankly I'd be interested in getting Gracie involved too.
Sue,
I was at a water trial at the kerns maybe 15 years ago. I saw a new title
earned by a girl named Ruby. She wasn't a big girl, but she worked hard
and did such a good job. I remember wondering if she was young when the
judge announced the title and said she was 9! I was so impressed
(obviously since I still remember it). Was that you?
I have two senior dogs now and one girl who's four. I'd love to join the
water fun with her.

Hi,
I was wondering about water training this summer. Took Gracie last week to
a friend's in Balsam Lake. Gracie will retrieve in the water; but she won't
let her feet off the ground and we need to swim! Thinking about finding a
cabin up north where we could work. I recalled that there was interest last
February in getting a group of us together to train. Just checking to see
the status. Or, does anyone have suggestions for training. I know Gracie
will love swimming. It's a confidence issue that we have worked through in
other areas.
Thank you,
Mary Jeanne

her husband Gary generously trained with us at their home in Ham Lake and
then the newf club had water trials at their home as well.
I’m knowledgeable enough to teach exercises from those first two levels
and to teach retrieving to people. I’m sure that test regulations must have
changed somewhat over the years and I need to get up to speed. And now as
of last summer, I have a rowboat with a platform for water work that I
purchased from my friend in the Portuguese Water Dog club!
My suggestion is to have the newf club ask Ann, Andre and Ann if they
would be willing to put on another workshop early in the season. Finding a
lake to train in is difficult in the city, most will not allow dogs. It’s
one thing to swim your dog discreetly on the side where you hope no one
cares. It’s another thing entirely to launch a rowboat, canoe and multiple
drowning volunteers without getting a permit of some kind. It takes village
to do this type of training. Opus and I are ready to jump in if others can

Sorry to be so slow to respond. I have been working with Opus this summer. Finding the water is difficult. I have several friends that either live on water or have lake cabins that I have visited. This seems to be the only way to do training up here. I have been in correspondance with the North Central Newf group about possibly doing some training with them since they put on a water test every September. So far I haven’t been down to train with them, as they haven’t gotten back to me about any group water training. Opus is doing well. His biggest concern right now is making the transition from shallow water to swimming depth. He can do it on his own, but needs encouragement, doesn’t have the confidence yet. He loves to retrieve but is not the dog who will headlong plunge into the water to get his retrieve items. Once swimming, no problem. I guess I don’t have any good answers for you right now Mary Jeanne.

Hi,
I was wondering about water training this summer. Took Gracie last week to a friend's in Balsam Lake. Gracie will retrieve in the water; but she won't let her feet off the ground and we need to swim! Thinking about finding a cabin up north where we could work. I recalled that there was interest last February in getting a group of us together to train. Just checking to see the status. Or, does anyone have suggestions for training. I know Gracie will love swimming. It's a confidence issue that we have worked through in other areas.

Hi Sue,
Opus and Gracie sound like twins!
Love to retrieve and will do it in the water but not go after anything if
it means she can't touch the bottom.
We will work on it; have not figured out how yet!
Thank you for your email Sue!
And good luck to both of us.
Frustrating as I know Gracie will love it once she does it. That is has
been true with other scary things

Currently we have Opus, who is 11 months old. I LOVE doing water work! In
the past I trained RUBY, our 2 nd newf in water work. She earned the first
2 titles at that time, I believe around 2004 or so. At that point they were
just developing the WRDX, the 3rd title. Ruby was too old at that point to
compete at that level. My oldest daughter is now 17 and she was a toddler

her husband Gary generously trained with us at their home in Ham Lake and
then the newf club had water trials at their home as well.
I’m knowledgeable enough to teach exercises from those first two levels
and to teach retrieving to people. I’m sure that test regulations must have
changed somewhat over the years and I need to get up to speed. And now as
of last summer, I have a rowboat with a platform for water work that I
purchased from my friend in the Portuguese Water Dog club!
My suggestion is to have the newf club ask Ann, Andre and Ann if they
would be willing to put on another workshop early in the season. Finding a
lake to train in is difficult in the city, most will not allow dogs. It’s
one thing to swim your dog discreetly on the side where you hope no one
cares. It’s another thing entirely to launch a rowboat, canoe and multiple
drowning volunteers without getting a permit of some kind. It takes village
to do this type of training. Opus and I are ready to jump in if others can
