Jeremy and I went Friday morning for a quick Elka/paddleboard training session. We headed to Riley’s Lock where there is a boat launch and a gentle slope into water that is not very deep. We did this for about 15 minutes. Goal was: to get Elka to sit on the paddleboard for any amount of time.
Elka does not know how to swim, so is a little nervous going into water deeper than her chest. She should be able to swim as she is part retriever, but she hasn’t had anyone show her that it is possible.
Photographic evidence that Elka did get on the paddleboard for about 10 seconds. We forgot to bring treats – our mistake. Next time.
What a good, brave girl!
